Demirjian, Richard
Email: richard.demirjian@rutgers.edu
Online course: go to http://sakai.rutgers.edu. Online course fee of $100. In this seminar-style course we will consider the ongoing memory of the American Civil War. Over 150 years since its eruption, this seminal national moment continues to stand as the crossroads of our history. The sacrifice, suffering, and glory engendered by this fratricidal conflict capture the imagination of millions as evidenced by the millions of visitors to national parks, the innumerable published works, and legions of historical re-enactors which keep its memory alive. The Civil War defined and re-defined questions of federal and state authority, slavery and freedom, the fate of western lands, medical science, and even taxation. Yet in spite of all the change it wrought, there are those today who would suggest that it is still, in some ways, being fought. This course will examine the ways that Americans have searched for meaning in their Civil War, and how they have remembered it even re-fought its underlying battles in their culture. There will be no exams in this course. Students will be evaluated upon two criteria: 1) a series of short papers addressing a host of assigned readings and films and 2) informed class participation.

COURSE CHANGED TO ONLINE.
Pre-requisite: 50:830:101. Online course: go to http://sakai.rutgers.edu. Online course fee of $100. Have you ever wondered why you cannot tickle yourself? Or how someone manages to text 149 characters in 39 seconds with no spelling or punctuation errors (the most recent US speed texting champion)? Both of these questions speak to the mental substrate that underlies the physical actions people perform. Actions are fundamental to our existence: For people to live, they must act. Psychologists have increasingly become interested in the mechanisms underlying the planning and execution of actions. How do people plan and execute actions? How do they learn them? What is the influence of expertise? How do we understand others? actions? How do we experience the actions we perform? What do disturbances in actions tell us about the mind and brain? Answers to these (and related) questions are important for domains as wide-ranging as psychology, philosophy, robotics, physical rehabilitation, and engineering alike. In this course, we will discover that much can be learned about the workings of the mind and brain through the study of action. We will explore issues in cognitive, developmental, and social psychology, philosophy, motor control, and cognitive neuroscience through the lens of physical action.
