The Designated Emphasis in Corporeality and Embodiment is a 12-unit course of study requiring two graduate-level seminars across two departments and 4 units of 297 coursework, during which, under the guidance of a faculty mentor, students complete a research project that focuses on some aspect of corporeality and/or embodiment. Courses used for the Designated Emphasis cannot be counted toward a student’s masters or Ph.D. requirements; they must be in addition.

1. Two (2) graduate-level courses (8 units)

selected from:

ANTH 261; DNCE 239-244; DNCE 254; DNCE 255; DNCE 257; DNCE 258; DNCE 260; DNCE 264; DNCE 267; ENGL 272; ENGL 277; MUS 254; SPN 276 Or any of of the following courses, combined with 2 units of 292 concurrent enrollment:

Students may ask to count another course with relevant content as approved by the Designated Emphasis Director. 100-level undergraduate courses taken to fulfill these requirements must be accompanied by a 2-unit 292 “concurrent enrollment” course with extra work mutually agreed upon by professor and student.

• 2. 4 units of 297 taken with a faculty mentor

over one or two quarters and completion of a research project, papers for which should be 25-30 pages in length and of publishable quality.

All requirements for the Designated Emphasis must be completed no later than one calendar year from the end of the quarter in which students advance to candidacy.

Students are required to complete courses within the Designated Emphasis with a minimum of a 3.0 GPA.
