SUMMER Immersion
You’re invited to attend... Summer Session 2023 at Millikin University.
In this catalog you will find a wide range of courses and flexible meeting times.
We’ve designed our course offerings to fit the needs of
• Current Millikin Students
• Adult Enrichment Learners (non-degree seeking students)
• Students attending other universities who want to earn credits while home for break
• High School Students wanting to gain credits in escrow
We discounted tuition for our Summer Immersion 2023 courses and made it easy for you to enroll. You can register any one of the following ways:
• Online: http://www.millikin.edu/immersion
• Phone: 217.424.6217
• In-person: Registrar’s Office Gorin Hall, Room 16
You can find the registration form in the back of the class listings or online (see above link).
This summer we are offering several ONLINE courses to make it easy for students not in the central Illinois area to have access to top-quality Millikin education.
Look at the range of offerings prepared by our creative faculty. I think you’ll find that summer is a great time to develop new skills or to concentrate on a course you want (or need) to take. An immersion course can help you graduate early, improve your grade point average, or provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Join us for a great summer of learning,

American Black Women’s Voices of Witness (Online)

In this course, we will explore “the source of so much that still defines the United States.” These definitions are about nothing less than the identity of the country. Who have we been, who are we now, who do we want to be? What story do we want to tell ourselves about ourselves? We will examine at least two competing narratives: the narrative told by white-supremacist pro-slaver y defenders and the anti-racist counternarrative presented by Nikole Hannah-Jones and the other
writers and artists who created The 1619 Project. In a moment in which prominent political leaders, state and local legislatures, and district school boards are seeking to erase Black history from American culture and education, we might consider this course an intervention in the regressive ideologies that persist in our society. We will read, discuss, and write about writers and artists who grapple with slavery and its consequences in their creative work. Students will write daily reflections and create a final multimodal research project addressing the question: Why do we need The 1619 Project?

importance of shared collaborative aesthetic experiences (shared acts of the imagination).
Students will explore the history and practice Japanese haikai poetics and learn about the role of this literary art in both Japanese and contemporary American culture. Students will compare authors and approaches to haiku from both Japanese and American traditions. Students will develop their professional writing abilities, as academic research writers through a study of a contemporary haiku writer. The haikai arts emphasize the power of concise writing, in which silence and things not said may be as important as the things said. Therefore, study of the haikai arts helps students develop exact, precise writing skills. Also, since haiku is the art of suggestion and connotation, it requires an integration of reading and writing abilities.

We will read Shelley’s Frankenstein, Coleridge’s Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Christabel, Stoker’s Dracula, and other works that span the 19th century when Gothic literature enjoyed its most celebrated production. Movie adaptations will give us perspective on the enduring appeal of the gothic and the changing interests in it.

Global Citizenship & K-pop (Online)
Instructor: Hee Young Choi
Trends toward globalization and inclusion are bringing together individuals with an everwidening array of skills, languages, nationalities, and cultural experiences. In this context, this course is designed for Millikin students and offers an opportunity to explore the concepts of global citizenship from the theoretical, cultural, and political perspectives and challenges students to think critically about what global citizenship can and should mean.
This course, therefore, focuses on helping students recognize the value of diversity in the United States and assist in developing important cross-cultural understanding. At the heart of the course will be an interdisciplinary exploration of Korean popular music, which is mostly known as K-pop through readings and discussion of film, social theory, and social scientific research. Investigating and locating K-pop within the continuously shifting global popular culture will be a trendy guide for students to enhance awareness of global citizenship.

IN350-05 (CRN: 50227) Global Issues: Art and Literature of Africa (Online)
Instructor: Danielle Patricio
IN 350 Global Issues courses, taken during the junior year, explore a topic of global importance. Students will continue to develop their understanding of democratic citizenship with an intense focus on a particular issue of global importance and associated ethical and social justice issues. These courses include a significant research component, are writing intensive, and require exploration of primary sources (e.g., texts, music, artifacts, etc.).
In this section of the course, entitled: “Art and Literature of Africa” we will explore the different countries within the African continent through analysis of cultural movements in art, literature, stage productions, and film. Through lectures, videos, and readings we will discuss and reflect on classism, violence, racism, and art, and historical documentation of these African works. Working in groups and individually to assess these elements in each piece, we will discuss the significance within past and current African culture and further demonstrate our exploration of ethics and social justice through discussion, writing, and presentations that attempt to gain a sense of the African experiences and the global cultures in which we adhere our identities, both within African countries and the United States.

Hollywood Cinema Instructor: Sam Meister
The purpose of this course is to immerse students in American studio cinema produced between the middle decades of the 20th century to the early years of the 21st century. During that time period, American movies aided in shaping our evolving cultural identity as a nation, contributing to the beliefs, norms, and ideals of “The American Century.” The film industry supplemented this cultural identity by actively attempting to reflect and provide recreation to a United States that was thrust into the status of the world’s greatest economic force, political superpower, and military might. Throughout the course students are expected to actively engage in both absorbing and dissecting these texts through viewing, critical analysis, and peer discussion.

Appellate Legal Research
Instructor: Robert Money
The course relies on a “simulation” model in which we analyze case file legal materials and then students produce an appellate legal brief for their client. Students roll-play as attorneys doing appellate legal research for their client. The simulation employs the “closed case” method that is used at most moot court competitions. Dr. Money will supply the case file. For summer 2023, the case file will involve two legal issues:
(1) fourth amendment law related to searches and seizures, and (2) 8th amendment law related to the execution of individuals who were minors when they committed the capital crime. The case file includes numerous items: a statement of the facts of the case, the rulings by the lower courts, select court precedents, relevant federal and/or state statutory provisions, and relevant constitutional provisions. Based on this material and this material only, students will complete a range of assignments designed to engage them in the central aspects of appellate legal research and reasoning including producing legal case briefs and writing a legal appellate brief.

The Ethics of War and Peace (Online)
Instructor: Eric Roark
This course introduces students to some of the most central theoretical issues within the topics of: war, human rights, and international law. This introduction is done primarily through the use of Michael Walzer’s Just and Unjust Wars as well as a number of supplemental texts. Walzer’s book utilizes a number of historical examples in order to yield a just war theory. One very important cross-over question, of which there are many, between war and human rights that we will consider is whether or not people (or the governments of people) have a moral obligation to intervene (by waging war)
when the basic human rights of others are placed in jeopardy or simply disregarded.

Who am I in Italia? (Travel Course)
Instructor: Lori Bales
Travel, by nature, initiates a moral, ethical, cultural, and somatic (bodily) confrontation with “other” (places, people, food, culture, political systems, etc.). This immersive change renders us vulnerable and threatens personal, ethical, social, and cultural serenity. We will read plays as the lens through which we explore how travel changes and informs our sense of self (i.e. cultural/political assumptions; basic moral/ethical beliefs and their metaphysical assumptions; and Jung’s Persona/Shadow). We will consider how art struggles with nihilism: “the fear that our lives and the world itself may be meaningless” and it’s affect on the ethical/social justice themes in each play.
