Course Description

This course introduces the history of American literature after 1865.

In 1900, American sociologist W.E.B. Du Bois wrote that “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.” Du Bois could hardly have anticipated how enduring that color line would be or how complex it would grow, both in the United States and across the world under American empire. As one example, Martin Luther King, Jr., pointed out in 1967 that while under segregation in the U.S. Black and white men could hardly sit on the same bus, the state was happy to sit them side-by-side in warplanes meant to kill Vietnamese people. Evidently, the color line is entwined with lines of class and nation -- who works, who rules -- in ways we must study closely if the twenty-first century is to look different from the twentieth.

This course examines how these lines have been drawn and redrawn in the post-Civil War era and across the “American century,” from Jim Crow to Banana Republics, from Black Power to what the Zapatistas call “the fourth world war.” Along the way, it studies study fiction, film, and poetry from some of the greatest minds in American culture and politics.

The course features works of authors such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Flannery O’Connor, Richard Wright, Langston Hughes, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, Amiri Baraka, June Jordan, George Romero, Martin Luther King, Jr., Che Guevara, Pablo Neruda, Subcomandante Marcos, and Karen Tei Yamashita.

Students should expect to read 10-25 pages of material per week or more.

Course Description

This course is the second of a series in learning analytics. It is strongly encouraged that learners take EDU223 Learning Analytics to prepare for this course. This course helps learners solve real-world problems via a foundation in critical thinking and data analysis. Learners bring together their knowledge of learning systems and combine these with data analytics to better understand how learning and communication take place online, especially in online learning environments. 

This is a research course. It is designed for learners to acquire the skills necessary to apply analytic methods that focus on discourse in learning contexts. We pay special attention to mediated-learning environments and foster independent skills in both Japanese and English via algorithmic methods of counting and comparing data samples. 
 

The topics of this course surround the data collection process and a simple inferential mini-study. Topics include:
- An introduction to advanced CMDA (computer-mediated discourse analysis), including examples of effective studies using CMDA

- How to develop a study- data selection.
- Constructing a human interaction study and its methodological pitfalls.
- Learner presentations of individually analyzed data.
- Introduction to Behavior Analysis.
- Introduction to Critical Discourse Analysis.
- Selecting Behavior Analysis or Critical Discourse Analysis for in-depth exploration
