Google is excited to announce Google Summer of CodeTM 2008! Google Summer of Code is a program designed to encourage student participation in open source development and offers these developers stipends to write code for various open source projects. Google will be working with several open source, free software and technology-related groups to identify and fund several projects over a three month period.
Historically, the program has brought together over 1,500 students around the globe with over 130 open source projects, to create millions of lines of code. We are contacting you to invite your students and encourage them to apply and participate!
Here at Google, we want to inspire young developers to begin participating in open source development. Google Summer of Code provides opportunities for students in Computer Science and related fields to work on projects related to their academic pursuits. We will be accepting student applications from March 24 - March 31, 2008.

American Studies has six new courses offered in the 3 week summer session (July 28-Aug 15, 2008)
179AC. Representing Race and Ethnicity in American Culture. (3 units)
This course satisfies the American cultures requirement.
MW 1-2 and 3-5:30, TTH 12-2:30 and 3:00-5:30.
Fifteen hours of lecture and one hour of discussion per week for three weeks.
This course offers students a unified course experience that examines the politics of visual representation and ways of "seeing" race and ethnicity in the U.S. in a comparative way. This course satisfies the American Cultures requirement by combining the following 1-unit courses: American Studies 180C - The Politics of Advertising in the United States: Race, Ethnicity, and Representation; American Studies 181B - Writing Narratives of Race and Gender: Photography and Art;and American Studies 184I - Race and American Film. Students will receive no credit or partial credit for 179AC after taking 180C, 181B, or 184I. Profs. Moran, Raiford and Cohen.
180C. The Politics of Advertising in the United States: Race, Ethnicity and
Representation. (1 unit)
MW 3-5:30 Five hours of lecture per week for three weeks.
This course will address the birth of advertising culture in the U.S., focusing on the specific ways that early advertising used images of Natives to connect products to values associated with nature, authenticity, and masculinity. We will then talk about the use of plantations and African Americans to both sell products and re-imagine the U.S. as a nation. Finally, we will look at the "Golden Age" of advertising (1950-1980) to talk about the way that middle class Euro-American values came to define the American Dream. Prof. Moran.
181B. Writing Narratives of Race and Gender: Photography and Art. (1 unit)
TTh 12-2:30
Five hours of lecture per week for three weeks.
This course aims to uncover the long history between race, gender, nation, and the visual. Our particular concern is how visual culture produces meanings about African American, Native American, and women's bodies. What do visual narratives tell us about national identity? Through the specific lenses of visual art and photography, we will ask how do racial bodies become gendered bodies? How have racial meanings and the visual modalities employed to express them changed over time? Prof. Raiford.
184I. Race and American Film. (1 unit)
TTh 3-5:30
Five hours of lecture per week for three weeks.
This course uses film to investigate the central role of race in American culture and history from the late 1800s to the present. We will consider the ways in which film has represented the history of race and racial formations in the U.S. Other topics include the histories of whiteness and ethnicity, representations of race and nation, blackface minstrelsy in the movies, westerns and representations of American Indians on film, borderlands and immigration, and the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality. Prof. Cohen.
188C. Food Culture in America. (1 unit)
Sat 10-3
Five hours of lecture per week for three weeks.
In the course we will explore the social history, political economy and "aesthetics" of eating in America. We will discuss the foods Americans consume, how and when they eat, and how they communicate about food. We will also consider the specific food culture of Berkeley, and explore the rise of the so-called Berkeley "gourmet ghetto. Prof. Moran
188D. San Francisco Detectives. (1 unit)
MW 12-2:30
Five hours of lecture per week for three weeks.
San Francisco, since Dashiell Hamett's, has been used as a setting for detective fiction, as if its fog, hills, and valleys, and its spirit of freedom could serve as a rich environment for generating the secrets that a detective has to expose. The narrative of detection must construct, as theorists observe, the narrative of the crime. This course will consider narrative theories of detective stories. Students will read and writers such as Joe Gores and Marcia Muller. Three detective films, The Maltese Falcon, Vertigo and Bullet, will be screened, and students will take the Maltese Falcon tour in San Francisco. Prof. Hutson

Engineering 98 is looking for Fall 2008 instructors!
Engineering 98 is a one unit, P/NP DeCal class that was designed by upper division engineering students to help freshmen get the most out of Berkeley. It is officially sponsored by the College of Engineering and began in 2005 through UC Berkeley's Tau Beta Pi Chapter, a national engineering honor society. Since then, it has been offered every Fall and has grown to accommodate nearly 200 freshmen each year.
Each section meets once a week for one hour, with 2-3 upperclassmen engineering students teaching 20 lower division students, providing a relatively intimate discussion setting. E98 is an amazing resume-builder and an excellent way to get involved with engineering students on campus.
If you are interested in being an instructor, please apply online at engel.berkeley.edu/apply. Applications will be accepted until April 15th, and interviews will be held in late April. Instructors are expected to commit two hours per week: one hour for instruction time and one hour for preparation and discussion.
