YOST 3001 - Introduction to History & Philosophy of Youthwork (HIS, DSJ)

Credits:	4.0 [max 4.0]
Typically offered:	Every Fall & Spring

This course exposes students to a depth of perspectives on young people and youth work. Exploring various historic and philosophical origins of ?normal? childhood, we unveil the way our modern understandings of child, youth, and adolescent draw upon a rich history of sexist, colonialist, and racist science. To do so we explore Indigenous, early European, Middle-Class, and W.E.I.R.D. (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) notions of childhood. We explore how these ideas are operationalized into practices on youth/youthwork. We explore how contemporary organizations of American youthwork and youth development, then took up and applied these ideas thus naturalizing modern norms and expectations of child and youth. This course covers the philosophical and historical foundations of youthwork in a critical and interactive way through a review of youth, youthwork, and youth organizations set in the context of the past 500 years. The course is designed to encourage students to examine their familial histories, timelines and geographies and through collaborative and interactive learning, begin to explore how these histories, combined with others, helped to shape the ways that we think about youth and how this thinking collectively shapes youth policy, practice, and the institutions within which we meet and work with young people. All of this with the goal of becoming more effective and thoughtful when working with young people in youthwork settings. Whether you choose to work in youthwork settings or in other human service organization or agency, developing a sense of cultural humility and skills to understand historical data, philosophical frames and current practices will be critical to your success in professional arenas. prereq: YOST 2xxx or instr consent

In this course, we will explore the multitude of theories that have been proposed to describe, understand, and even explain young people in the second decade of life and beyond. Indeed, we will be studying development theories that have been used to explain your own life and experience. This gives us a unique perspective in the class. You have first hand experience that can be used to interrogate the theories and often illustrate both the strengths and weaknesses of each. Over the course of the semester, we describe, discuss, and critique six theories of adolescent and youth development, including: Social Justice Youth Development, Participatory Youth Development, Community Youth Development, Positive Youth Development, Adolescent Development, and Recapitulation. We begin with the most recent theory and then using academic archeology, dig back through time to understand not only the individual theories but also how they connect and join to each other. Along the way, we also discuss the social and cultural events and situations that influenced each theory?s development and often demise. A major goal of this class is to better understand where these theories come from, what they are connected to, and often how they are used to both support and marginalize young people. Class will be interactive, using both small and large group discussion, experiential learning activities, and guest lecturers. The major assignment for the class is a grant writing project, where students will collaborate with a youth-serving organizing to develop a grant proposal that addresses the organization?s needs. This project will be used to deepen understanding of how to apply the theories we learn in class, as well as to develop skills around writing strong grant proposals for youth-serving organizations. prereq: YOST 1001 or 2101, [any Psych or CPsy course], or instr consent

This course is an upper-level undergraduate course designed for students to examine the impact of the Olympic Games on Los Angeles, California, and the United States. The city of Los Angeles, California is about to host the Summer Olympic Games for the third time (e.g., 1932, 1984 & 2028). The first Los Angeles Olympic Games were held in 1932 and Los Angeles was just starting to be a city of influence in the United States. A number of countries voiced an objection to the Olympic Games being held in Los Angeles. However, the 1932 Los Angeles Summer Olympic Games proved to be a success. These Olympic Games proved that Los Angeles was an emerging city not only in the United States but in the world. The second Los Angeles Summer Olympics were held in 1984 and followed the 1980 Moscow Summer Olympics, which the United States and other countries boycotted. In retaliation, the Soviet Union as well as other communist countries boycotted the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics. Even with the boycott the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympic Games were a huge success. They demonstrated that the Olympic Games could be hosted and not create a financial calamity for the hosting city, but actually create a legacy for the hosting city to build upon. In 2028 Los Angeles will host the Summer Olympic Games for a third time, joining London, England and Paris, France as the only cities to host the Summer Olympics three times. What will happen to Los Angeles and the United States after they host the 2028 Summer Olympic Games? Will the 2028 Summer Olympic Games be as successful as the previous two Los Angeles Summer Olympic Games? This course will explore the impact of each of these Summer Olympic Games as well as contributions that these Olympic Games have had not only on society in the United States but also the world. In addition, this course will explore the changes in sport that have occurred during this time span in the United States as well as the world.
