URGENT: Due to a new policy of not applying for H1-B visas for adjuncts, 
an instructor is needed in Fall 2011 for Asian Studies 868 Korean 
Society thru Film and Literature, Tues Thurs 2-3:20, at Temple 
University (TU) in Philadelphia.  A section focusing on Korea has never 
been offered before.  The course may be cancelled if it is not staffed 
this week, as the schedule goes online on Feb. 28.  It is also subject 
to cancellation if enrollments are low. but as a general education

Studies program as of 2009 http://www.temple.edu/asian_studies/index.html

DESCRIPTION:
Asian Studies 868. World Society in Literature & Film (3 s.h.) RCI: GG. 
(Formerly: GE-WRLD 0060.)
Learn about a particular national culture—Russian, Indian, French, 
Japanese, Italian, for example, each focused upon in separate sections 
of this course—by taking a guided tour of its literature and film. You 
don’t need to speak Russian, Hindu, French or Japanese to take one of 
these exciting courses, and you will gain the fresh, subtle 
understanding that comes from integrating across different forms of 
human expression. Some of the issues that will be illuminated by looking 
at culture through the lens of literature and film: Family structures 
and how they are changing, national self-perceptions, pivotal moments in 
history, economic issues, social change and diversity.
[Note: This course fulfills the World Society (GG) requirement for 
students under GenEd and International Studies (IS) for students under 
Core. Students cannot receive credit for this course if they have 
successfully completed any of the following: Arabic 0868/0968, Chinese
