This course will explore the public perception of maternity as reflected in the half-century campaign for a federal Mother's Day holiday. With guided discussions, we will review the social biology of 19th-century maternity, the use of motherhood by women's rights campaigners to claim political power, Gilded Age conflicts over birth control and abortion, and the 1914 adoption of a Mother's Day holiday that celebrates women's domesticity.
Susan Poulson, Ph.D.,
Professor of History, The 探花系列
The media, community members, and government officials have regularly pointed to "gangs" in recent years as an explanation for local street crime. Clarity on what is or is not a gang and their relation to crime is vital to preventing any problems that might arise from them. This course will discuss criminological theories related to an understanding of gang involvement and crime, distinguish the characteristics of criminal street gangs, and review the literature on and practice of gang prevention, intervention, and suppression methods.
