PAH 160D5 – Bedtime: Exploring the Cultures and Practices of Sleep

The need for sleep is ubiquitous and part of everyday existence. Like many things that are part of our routine, however, we rarely take time to consider sleep critically: Why do we sleep? Is sleep different from culture to culture? In what ways is sleep made valuable (or not)? And what's with dreaming? These and many other questions are at the heart of this course. Over the course of the semester, we will probe modern and historical humanities archives for artifacts related to sleep. By examining the ways human beings have come to represent sleep through a wide variety of cultural practices (e.g., rituals, popular culture, art, etc.), we will explore the connections between sleep and creativity, the role sleep plays in the formation and maintenance of social and cultural institutions, and sleep's changing relationship to the human condition generally. The goal, ultimately, is to imagine what sleep's future holds.

PAH 493 – Internship

The internship consists of training and practice in an employment sector related to the students' desired career goals.

The contributions by the student intern to the partner agency are meant to be meaningful and substantive. Each 3-unit internship experience is individually designed to maximize student specific learning during the 120 contact hours. Internship activities can include completing projects or delivering services that require collaboration, research, analysis, summarizing data, writing, presenting work visually and orally, investigating, planning, organizing, problem solving, critical thinking, innovating, influencing, persuading, decision making, and networking.

The academic side of the internship course is designed to help students maximize the undergraduate internship experience. Students develop and build effective negotiation and communication skills, reflect on and analyze their current skill set, and situate their internship experience within a broader academic and professional context. To this end, assignments are practical and relevant to the course purpose, as students engage in thoughtful reflection and career planning.
