Dear Juniors and Seniors,

We have partnered with Career Services to give

our junior and senior majors access to Wildcat Joblink. Wildcat JobLink is a

state-of-the-art career management tool, offering UA students access to

jobs, internships, and a range of other services including campus interview-

ing and resume referrals.

To access JobLink, please visit the Career Services website at https://

www.career.arizona.edu/joblink. All you need is your NETID and password

to login and take advantage of these great services.

Why is SGPP only funding juniors and seniors to have access to JobLink?

The funding comes from SGPP Program Fees, which only our junior and sen-

ior majors pay. If you are a freshman or sophomore, you are welcome to

register and pay the annual $5 fee out of pocket. Visit https://

www.career.arizona.edu/joblink to register.

I will be a junior at the end of the current semester. When can I have ac-

cess?

SGPP will be requesting access for any students who have reached 60+ cred-

its each semester after the census date (the 21st day of the semester). So, if

you will have 60+ completed credits at the end of this semester, you will be

granted access next semester after the census date.

If you have any questions, please email ctryon@email.arizona.edu.

What is theory?

How do scholars, policy makers and the public theorize?

How do theories of International Relations (IR) matter in

today’s complex world?

Join us this fall in an Honors Section of POL/GWS 461

POL/GWS 461: FEMINIST AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS THEORIES

Tuesday and Thursday 11:00 - 12:15

Professor V. Spike Peterson, Ph.D.

Office: Social Sciences: 314C

This course will

explore what it means to theorize and how power operates in knowledge production processes

survey contemporary theories of International Relations and how they shape practices of world politics

examine how theories of IR matter for understanding and responding to structural inequalities of gender/sex, race/ethnicity, class and nationality

familiarize students with feminist perspectives on, and feminist contributions to, theories of IR and Global Politi-cal Economy, emphasizing how gender shapes, and is shaped by, processes of globalization

Gender is understood here not as a synonym for ‘woman’ but as a hierarchical coding of masculinity and femi-ninity that pervades social relations and institutional practices, with systemic (though not deterministic) effects on inequalities. Gender meanings and practices permeate our lives, and a closer look at these processes is more illuminating than many anticipate, with relevance and implications for who we are, how we think, and how we

ANTH 395A, 001 (Special Topics)

Critical Issues for Museums in the 21st Century

Instructor: Irene Bald Romano, Ph.D.

Class Time: Tues. and Thurs. 12:30-1:45 pm

Class Location: Arizona State Museum, Room 309 Course Description:

Museums of the 21st century are increasingly complex organizations, engaged with the critical issues of the day, whether by design or necessity. Few museums today can afford the luxury of being the “temples of treasures” of past centuries, with collections tended and displayed for the elite who have the leisure of appreciating them. Museums in the 21st century have been thrust onto the global stage and are dealing with issues re-sulting from political and religious conflicts, questions of legal and ethical rights to own-ership of collections, international treaties and laws, recognition of native peoples and their voice in the disposition of their cultural patrimony, as well as engagement with lo-cal communities through exhibitions and public programming on issues such as poverty, homelessness, health, the environment, and many other challenges in both rural and urban settings. Globalization and technology have brought the world closer together, with resulting demands for greater accessibility to museum collections and curatorial knowledge. Museums, whether public or private, local or international, are more than ever accountable to and dependent upon multiple, often competing, constituents, and on communities and public engagement, while resources for the support of those muse-ums are, in many cases, shrinking.

Topics to be explored in this course include the competing interests of museums and ar-chaeologists regarding antiquities; the controversy over who owns antiquity; repatria-tion issues; the presentation of collections; the funding and marketing of museums in the 21st century; and the virtual museum. There will be a special focus in this course on museums on the UA campus: the Arizona State Museum, the Center for Creative Pho-tography, and the University of Arizona Museum of Art, with behind-the-scenes tours and presentations by curators and professional museum staff.
