Catalog Description:
This course will be cross-listed with an appropriate advanced class relating to International and
Global issues. It is designed to provide a capstone experience for students with an International
and Global Studies major. In addition to the work required in the cross-listed class, the student
will produce original research on a topic in International and Global studies and present it to the
International and Global Studies Council.
Rationale for new course:
This course is a requirement for seniors in the International and Global Studies Major. It will
provide a capstone experience for our majors who have varied and multidisciplinary interests in
International and Global Studies but need to demonstrate reflective competency in this
culminating research .
What courses are to be deleted in conjunction with the new course offering?
No course will be deleted in conjunction with this new course offering. The course will have a
positive effect on enrolments in advanced classes that will be cross-listed with INS 400.
If no courses are slated for deletion, which courses will be reduced in the frequency of
offering?
None.

Subject: RE: Questions about INV 400
Dear Sarah,
Thank you for your note. I did not know that CAP met about INS 400. I would like to attend so that I can
explain what we are doing. Can you let me know when your next meeting is?
You are right, we only wish INS 400 to appear on the transcript. Professors have agreed to take INS 400
students within an existing class (for example POS 352: comparative Environmental Politics).
I hope this responds to your question. Let me know if it is still unclear. Here is the list of courses we will
consider for ‘sections’ of INS 400 in 2012-2013:
INS 400 – Seniors, you will need to take INS 400 in the fall or spring of your last year. You will sign for
INS 400 with a section number, depending on your interests. We are in the process of getting the
course approved and will contact you when it has been approved. Here are the sections for the fall
semester.

Subject: Questions about INV 400
Hi Sylvie,
This was tabled by CAP because the committee felt the wording wasn't clear. We all assume that INV
400 will appear on the transcript instead of the "appropriate advanced class." The confusion was the
extra work required making the possibility that you would register students for both 4 credits of INV 400
in addition to another 4 credits of the other advanced class. (Poli Sci does that but has 0 credits for the
INV 400). But we don't think that is your intention. Perhaps a simple "Only INV 400 (4 credits) will
appear on the transcript" will take care of the question. Other suggestions?
Let me know and I'll get back to CAP about this igt away.
Thanks,
Sarah

Program:
Environmental Studies MInor
Developed By: Drew Barton
Explanation and rationale for the new and/or revised curricula.
This is a streamlined version of the Environmental Studies program developed by Carla DeGraw
and Drew Barton. The program was proving more complicated than it needed to be. The new
program has the same number of required courses and an experience, but it is easier to navigate
the requirements. We also streamlined the description.
Note: There is no Division for this minor; it is interdisciplinary. There is also no Division chair
to sign off (so I did not check the box at the bottom of the form). The form made me select
something above, so I checked Division of the Arts. They now owe me an espresso.
Thanks!
List of the old and new courses in the program/concentration requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES MINOR
The Environmental Studies minor is a multidisciplinary program,
spanning most areas of the arts and sciences. Students will apply
the coherence and perspective of their major to the study of the
environment, preparing them to relate their careers to
environmental issues or nature. Students seeking a major in
environmental studies should speak to their advisor or the
coordinator of the Environmental Studies minor about developing
an individualized program (or they should consider majors in
Environmental Science or Environmental Policy & Planning).
The Environmental Studies Minor coordinator can be reached
at Barton@maine.edu.
Required courses (five courses worth 20 credits)
1. At least one introductory level course (see below for list of
courses fulfilling this requirement)
2. At least two courses in Natural Sciences or Math (see below for
list of courses fulfilling this requirement)
3. At least two courses in Humanities, Visual and Performing Arts,

3. No more than 8 credits in a student's major may be counted
toward these course requirements.
Further Requirement : Participation in significant research,
creative work, service, or internship related to the environment,
during the academic year or summer. This requirement can be met
by (1) paid or volunteer work outside of courses on or off campus,
(2) a capstone project or thesis in the major, or (3) a major senior
level project in a credit-bearing course when pre-approved. This
requirement is in addition to the five courses above.
To insure a meaningful experience, the following are required parts
of the experience:
1. Sponsorship by a faculty member;
2. Proposal describing goals and activities submitted to the
Environmental Studies minor coordinator for approval before the
experience;
3. Log or summary of hours invested in the experience;
4. Letter about the experience from the person supervising the
experience (faculty member or off-campus supervisor);
5. A document or creative work that describes and reflects on the
experience and addresses the extent to which goals were met. This
can be in whatever form is appropriate for the student and the
experience. For example, some may use a journal maintained
during the experience, whereas others might choose a brief report
at the end.
6. The log, letter, and writing should be submitted to the
Environmental Studies minor coordinator for approval.
In addition to courses listed below, new and topics courses (277 &

Please include any other comments or information about the program that you think
is necessary or helpful for members of CAP.
Because students selecting this program option (non-certification) are interested in graduate
school or in a variety of careers involving young children and their families, we think it is best to
provide students with an increased number of course options.

Catalog Description:
Capitalism has brought widespread economic development around the globe, and this in turn has profoundly
changed the way humans live their lives. But the world is full of many masks, and behind the mask of economic
prosperity lie numerous stories of colonization, war, forced “modernization,” poverty, hunger, disease,
environmental degradation, religious fundamentalism, and social unrest. These stories, and their relationship to
capitalist systems, are not always obvious to us; they seem far removed from our daily lives, appear to have little
historical basis, and look as if they are isolated, encapsulated occurrences. In this course, we will peer behind the
mask of the global expansion of capitalism and connect the dots.

The intention of this course is to expand and deepen our notion of performance and to address such questions as,
“Why do people perform?” and “How does performance constitute our social and political worlds?” Using
performance as an entry point for understanding texts, drama, culture, social roles, identity, resistance and
technologies, and drawing from analytical principles embedded in anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, and
performance studies, we will explore such diverse performance practices as ritual and social drama, multicultural
and street performance, dance, theater, site-specific performance, and a wide range of hybrid forms.

Food and Culture
Division:

Complete Current Catalog Description (including prerequisites, grade type, frequency):
This course will focus on the nexus between food and culture in a variety of cross-cultural
settings. We will examine the relationship between subsistence strategies and food production.
We will also compare local food systems to large scale globalization of the world wide food
industry. Students will also experience ethnographic methods and writing in this course. This
will be a writing intensive course. (Pass/Fail option) Prerequisite(s): ANT 103S or permission of
instructor. Every three years.
New/Revised Catalog Description (including prerequisites, grade type, frequency):
Food provides a window onto the human experience: how we find the means to survive and meet our basic needs;
how we form communities; how we give our lives meaning and express our identities. Our relationships to food are
individual and at the same time reflect our connections to local, national and global communities and networks.
This course will consider what food—the ways we obtain and use it, and the meanings we give it—tell us about
being human and being part of community. We will address topics including sources of food, the development of
cuisines, food as an expression of identity and solidarity, body image and food, the ethics and politics of food
choices, and the ritual uses of food.(Pass/Fail option) No prerequisites. Every three years.
