Be a part of history! The Creative Arts Journal has been highlighting CHC students' works for decades. All types of works are accepted for consideration - poetry, stories, dialogues, drawings, photographs, sculptures, audio and video performances.

To ensure an unbiased selection process, include the title on your work, but not your name. Also, do not submit original works of art. Instead, submit a copy, a scan, or some other facsimile. It is important to complete a Creative Arts Journal Submission Form (honors.uoregon.edu/students/forms) and bring it to the CHC office with your work, so that we have your contact information as well as your permission to include your work in the printed Journal, or on the CHC website.

The deadline is Friday, January 10, 2003. For more information, contact Britta Ameel, editor, at chcarts@uoregon.edu. To see last year's Creative Arts Journal, pick up a copy in the CHC office, or view it on the internet: honors.uoregon.edu/community/creative_arts_journal.html.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SENIORS (Back to Top)

1. Senior Thesis Seminar

Senior Thesis Seminar must be taken at least two terms before graduation. All seniors planning to graduate Summer 2003 should take Senior Seminar this Winter Term. Those who have not yet enrolled in Senior Seminar must file an Application for Enrollment in Senior Seminar form (honors.uoregon.edu/students/forms) with Jody Green before they can enroll on a first-come, first-serve basis. Be forewarned that spaces may be limited.

2. Graduation Analysis

Students taking Senior Seminar are required to meet with their CHC Advisors for a preliminary graduation analysis. This must occur before the end of Senior Seminar or the student will not pass the course. Seniors should also have a graduation analysis done in their major department.

3. Scheduling Oral Defense

Seniors need to schedule the week of their oral defenses through Jody Green. Be prepared with several options for both dates and CHC professors for your committee. There is a limit of one oral per week for each CHC professor, so don't delay - the weeks get booked very quickly - and don't assume you can get the CHC faculty member of your choice.

Once the oral defense has been scheduled, the student must submit the Final Thesis Information form (honors.uoregon.edu/students/forms) to Jody Green no later than three weeks before the defense.

No Oral Defense of Thesis will be scheduled during or after the final two weeks of the term (Dead Week and finals week) nor during the vacation breaks during the nine-month academic year.

4. Fellowships

CHC Senior Research Fellowships are available for 2002-2003. Because the senior thesis and an oral examination are mandatory for graduation from the Clark Honors College, it is important to be able to count on financial help with the expenses of producing a thesis. Typical expenses reimbursed are: costs of required books that are unavailable in libraries, copying expenses, lab equipment and long distance phone calls connected with research.

In order to receive fellowship support, students must submit receipts and a Senior Research Fellowship Application form to the CHC office after the final two copies of the thesis have been turned in. Emergency requests for funds in advance of completion of the thesis may be submitted for special review anytime after the senior thesis prospectus, signed by the faculty advisor, has been submitted to CHC.

5. Final Thesis Copies

Final copies of the thesis must be turned in no later than the Thursday of Finals Week for the term in which you are graduating. Please submit a Graduation Final Information form (honors.uoregon.edu/students/forms) with your thesis.

"Suppressed Voices in the Renaissance and the Neoclassic Age"

The texts are Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Shakespeare's Measure for Measure and King Lear, Behn's The Rover, Milton's Paradise Lost, Pope's "Essay on Man," and Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

The course will explore major debatable literary topics, as proposed by classic texts. We will look at the gain and loss of ideal worlds proposed by the Renaissance and Restoration (Aphra Behn, Shakespeare, Milton), and the subsequent equilibrium attained by the 18th century (Pope and Austen). The class will also study the forms of tragedy (King Lear), comedy (Measure for Measure, The Rover, Pride and Prejudice), and epic (Paradise Lost). We will be particularly interested in how previously marginalized voices - in women, in political rebels, in people in underprivileged classes, in artists - actually acquire a voice in these texts.

Class will consist of discussion, lecture, and semi-formal debate. In lecture, particular emphasis will be given to recent scholarship, which calls for a new focus on great women authors, such as Aphra Behn, as well as a revision of how we view such classic writers as Milton, Austen, and Shakespeare.

Writing assignments will emphasize close readings to the texts. There will be papers, plus a journal. The course will be a balance of lecture and discussion.

"ELSE(W)HERE: Journeys to self and other from early modern to enlightenment"

This second term of the Honors College literature sequence organizes our readings around the idea of travel to explore important literary themes: language, individuation and identity, culture and cultural relativism, and the definitions of fact and fiction. These issues arise out of the concerns of traveler and narrator. For instance, a traveler's sympathy and identity relates to Socratic self-knowledge and its dark side, narcissism; the language of travel complicates ideas about real and imaginary, especially as we move into the age of enlightenment. Travelers' political and economic aims reflect and create public and private spheres, with their concomitant gendering: geography "maps" the human body. Because the West's colonial impulse grows exponentially from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries, the ethical dimension of travel and narrative has special meaning for this term of the HC literature sequence. The ways in which literature indexes colonial expansion - through accommodation and critique - will be a theme throughout our readings.

Texts for the term:
Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Man of Law's Tale,"
The Book of Margery Kempe (selections)
Thomas More's Utopia
William Shakespeare's The Tempest
Matsuo Basho's Narrow Road to the Deep North
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu's "Turkish Letters"
Olaudah Equiano's The Interesting Narrative
Mary Wollstonecraft's "Scandinavian Travel Letters" and selections from "Vindication of the Rights of Woman."

Requirements include response papers, article summaries, formal papers, and a final exam.

"Spaces of Literature and Literary Spaces"

In this course we will explore the period extending from the late middle ages through to the enlightenment. We'll follow major historical development and trends. We'll examine the relationship between the individual and society, past and present, history and culture. We'll also explore definitions of western culture and ask what makes a work of art classic, great. This course will focus on issues relating to the use of space and time in literary works, utopias and dystopias, and literary places, real and imagined.

Texts will include: Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (selections) Christine de Pisan's Book of the City of Women, Milton's Paradise Lost (selections), Behn's The Rover, Shakespeare's The Tempest, Merchant of Venice or King Lear, More's Utopia, Voltaire's Candide and others.

Class time will be spent on close textual readings of the works, via discussion, semi-formal debate and some in-class writing. We'll also look at overarching themes and historical contexts. Students will keep a journal and be required to write two papers and complete two exams.

HONORS COLLEGE HISTORY

This course will consider Europe from the Renaissance to the French Revolution. In this period, Europe explored new worlds: new worlds of religion, art, science, and politics, as well as the "New World" of the Americas. We will examine the wrenching effect these explorations had on Europe and on the world, paying particular attention to the Italian Renaissance, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, European expansion, the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, and the crisis of the Old Regime. To understand some of these changes, we will read the writings of some of the important figures of the period, including Machiavelli, Galileo, Locke, and Montesquieu. Alongside the momentous, though, we will also consider the mundane: changes in daily lives of ordinary people. (Imagine, for instance, the revolutionary effect of the potato-an American import-on the diets of ordinary people; or picture Italy without tomatoesŠ) We will study the interaction between "high culture" and "low culture," and examine ways in which ordinary men and women shaped and responded to the emerging modern world.

For Europe, we will focus on the momentous events that defined the beginning and the end of the early modern era, the Reformation and the Enlightenment respectively. Both spelled the "end" of an era and set in motion new intellectual and political forces. For Asia, we will emphasize the maturation of traditional Chinese and Japanese cultures prior to the onslaught of Western encroachment. Our primary texts will include Luther's writings, Voltaire's Candide, Tsao Hsueh-chin's Dream of the Red Chamber, and Chikamatsu's plays. We will blend high culture and popular culture into our study of this era.

Clark Honors College hosts the nationally ranked University of Oregon Forensics Program. The program is designed to teach rhetorical habits of mind and speech through intercollegiate debate and individual events. The program travels to about 13 tournaments, hosts two on-campus tournaments, and engages in some on-campus speaking activities. Two graduate teaching fellows are assigned to the program.

Debate students will be paired with partners and will be expected to conduct extensive research on the debate topics selected by the Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA) and the Parliamentary Debate Association. Novice and experienced student debaters are welcome, and students do not need to be Honors College students to enroll.

Individual events: students select from among ten to fifteen public speaking and oral interpretation events and, in addition, work to prepare and perfect speeches designed to persuade, entertain and move. Students are graded on their performances.

"Environmental Ethics in Cultural Perspective"

The course will examine a number of approaches to environmental ethics, ranging from such classical statements as Aldo Leopold's land ethic and the principles of deep ecology articulated by Arne Naess, George Sessions, and Bill Duvall to recent efforts to represent John Dewey as an environmental philosopher. The writings on environmental ethics of J. Baird Callicott as well as eco-feminists will also be considered. A more cultural perspective on environmental ethics will rely upon ethnographies of non-western cultures such as Keith Basso's study of the Western Apache, and Frederique Apffel-Marglin's collection of essays on the Quechua of the Peruvian Andes. Lastly, the course will examine how language encodes a culture's understanding of relationships, the attributes of the participants in the relationship-and thus the moral codes that are largely taken-for-granted as an individual becomes a member of a language community. This latter segment of the course will help shift the focus of thinking of environmental ethics as rationally based to recognizing how the languaging processes of everyday life, which varies from culture to culture, influence our moral behavior and understanding of human/Nature relationships.

"Reading and Writing Fiction"

The texts will be the stories of Welty, Carver, Porter, Woolf, O'Connor, and Walker.

I believe students can learn to use basic narrative techniques through the reading and discussion of classic modern short stories. The course will begin with the raw material -- the journal -- then move on to autobiography and fictionalized first-person accounts to finally third-person short stories which shift points of view and use interior monologue.

In class, stories will be discussed to highlight technique, as well as the major concerns of characterization, style, tone, and plot. At appropriate times, students will listen to recordings of authors reading their own work, in order to encourage an understanding of prose rhythms, pace of plot, nuance of dialogue and, finally, literary ambiguity.

Also, at various intervals, students work will be duplicated and discussed, so that each person has a chance to get feedback. Students will be encouraged to attach those journal entries which gave rise to their finished work, so that the creative process may be considered as well.

Writing assignments include several stories and a writer's journal. Class enrollment is limited to twentytwo.

"The Human Species"

Major new works on humans as a species, and on our place in the world, have been appearing in the past few years, and students in this course will read a set of these works. The books are somewhat diverse, but all take a "wide perspective" on our history--ancient, relatively ancient, current, and yet to come--on our evolved psychology, and on differences (if any) among us. Some are controversial, some are widely read and appreciated, some are relatively less well-known. A provisional list from which students will read includes (in no particular order):

Mother Nature: Natural Selection and the Female of the Species by Sarah Blaffer Hrdy;
Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fate of Human Societies by Jared Diamond;
Blood Rites: Origins and History of the Passions of War by Barbara Ehrenreich
Non-Zero: The Logic of Human Destiny by Robert Wright
Darwin's Cathedral; Evolution, Religion and the Nature of Society by David Sloan Wilson;
Altruistically Inclined? The Behavioral Sciences, Evolutionary Theory, and the Origins of Reciprocity by Alexander Field
A Brain for All Seasons: Human Evolution & Abrupt Climate Change William H. Calvin.
The Two-Mile Time Machine: Ice Cores, Abrupt Climate Change, and our Future by Richard B. Alley
Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge by Edward O. Wilson

I would like each student to take the lead in class discussion of two or three of the books from this (to be extended) list.

" Essentialism in Cognition and Culture "

In this seminar we will address some fundamental questions about the nature of the human conceptual system. In particular, we will explore a widely encountered and powerful mode of reasoning, namely, essentialist thinking. Essentialism is the belief that category members share important underlying properties that determine category identity and are responsible for other important characteristics of the category. Essentialist thinking affects how we view the natural world (e.g., how we categorize biological species). It also shapes the way we think about the social world (e.g., how we think about gender, race, mental illness, and personality). In this seminar we will discuss recent theorizing and research on essentialism. Among the questions we will examine are the following. To what extent does an implicit belief in essences characterize people's thinking about natural and social categories? Do essentialist beliefs underlie young children's concepts or are early concepts instead formed on the basis of more primitive perceptual features? What role does language play in shaping and fostering essentialist reasoning? In what ways do essentialist beliefs about social categories such as race, ethnicity, and gender contribute to stereotyping and prejudice? To what extent do essentialist notions underlie judgments about personality, psychopathology, and continuity in personal identity across time? And is psychological essentialism a universal characteristic of human reasoning, prevalent across quite diverse cultures? Toward the end of term we will be holding a 2 day conference at which internationally renowned scholars with expertise in the area of essentialism will present their work. Students taking the seminar will participate in the conference. The conference represents a truly unique opportunity for students to experience the intellectual excitement of learning about state-of-the-art scholarship in a "live" forum. Honors College students majoring in Psychology, Philosophy, or related disciplines are especially encouraged to take the seminar and attend the conference. Enquiries about the seminar should be directed to Lou Moses or Dare Baldwin.

"Eighteenth-Century Things: Material Culture and the History of Ideas"

Historians are known for their accounts of events and actions, for explaining what happened, when, where and why. But historians are equally concerned with understanding things and ideas in their contemporary context. During this quarter, we will investigate many different kinds of objects including household things, communal things, commercial things, scientific things, conceptual things, literary and artistic things, celebrated things and imaginary things. In all of these cases, we will be attending both to the historical uses of the objects concerned and to the cultural and intellectual frames which give them meaning. Some of the things in question may be novelties. In Europe, commodities such as coffee, chocolate, tobacco, and sugar all fall in this category, as do such things as the meter, the magic lantern, and the hot air balloon. Other things, such as bread and water, are older or even timeless, but they have specific meanings in the context of eighteenth-century social, cultural, and political life. Over the course of the term, students will pursue independent research into one particular object of their own choosing. Readings will be in primary, theoretical, and historiographical sources. Specific topics of con cern will include such material objects as bread, sugar, porcelain, maps, encyclopedias, automata, caricatures, furniture, and souvenirs as well as conceptual objects such as progress, facts, and reason. No special knowledge of eighteenth-century histories will be assumed.

"Outsider Histories: Historiographies of Difference and the Work of Michel de Certeau"

Over the past several decades, historians have famously traveled "downward and outward": downward, toward the specificities of material and eve excluded from historiography. In the 1960's, a new goal of "total history" was articulated which envisioned the incorporation of these new dimensions into a greater historiographical synthesis. But years later, even after many notable innovations in social, cultural, and intellectual history, the conceptual problems associated with this sort of totalizing vision still remain. Historians have recognized that it is never enough simply to represent more voices and more stories. Understanding the implications of our methods and modes of representation is as important as addressing our omissions. In this course, we will examine a number of problems that occur on the edges of history writing. In particular we will focus on the notion of "giving voice to the voiceless." We will address this problem by reading intensively in the work of the French historian Michel de Certeau and his interlocutors. For Certeau, the question of "giving voice" was not just conceptual: it too had a history. And it is here that our course will begin, with Certeau's studies of the ethnographic, historiographical, theological, and bureaucratic institutions that arose during the Early Modern period in Europe in order precisely to give voice to those on the margins of dominant social institutions. We will follow Certeau's work on people who speak differently, whether literally, as in the case of foreigners, dialect speakers, and mystics speaking in tongues or figuratively as in the case of subjects outside of the political mainstream, and on the Early Modern institutions that sought to comprehend or to control them. We will also read Certeau on modern intellectual movements such as Marxism, psychoanalysis, and structuralism, and their relationship to these traditions. This course is aimed at advanced undergraduate students and graduate students pursuing their own research. Students in the course will be encouraged to write on subjects of their own interest in relation to the course materials. Readings will be difficult, but no prior knowledge of European history or French is required. Assigned texts include: Michel de Certeau, The Possession at Loudun; The Mystic Fable (The Seventeenth Century); The Writing of History; The Practice of Everyday Life; The Capture of Speech and Other Political Writings. For CHC requirements, this course is equivalent to HC431 (HC Social Science Colloquium).
