/in /by

In this week’s discussion, and in preparation for your weekly response assignment, you are asked to reply to 4 questions of your choice (two from A and two from B lists below), and cite at least one key idea from the assigned reading to support your comments or arguments.

Your posts must refer to each film to discuss how memory is constructed by the Hmong community in France, the United States and South-East Asia, by using specific examples, quotes, and other details from this week’s videos.

Question #A  – Choose TWO discussion points from the following list to present your critical reflection on the main issues and themes explored in the film Hmong Memory at the Crossroads (2015):

a.    In the film, experts, historians and French and American government officials offer their specific perspectives on the history of the Hmong people.  What do we learn from them about Hmong people ? Give specific examples from the film.

b.    What are the highlights of Liachoua Lees trip to France? Why is this trip important for him ?  How does his personal story & family history help us gain insight into what was erased from official French History and America History?

c.    What are the most important moments of Liachoua Lees trip to Laos (his native country)? How did this trip change him? What more facts did his son Cedric learn about his fathers past and his family history ?

d.    During his travels, Liachoua Lee encounters different people along the way.  Give one example of these encounter and describe how it unfolded and its significance for Liachoua.  What are the moments that you find emotionally powerful or interesting in the film and why ?

Question #B – Choose TWO discussion points from the list below to share your critical reflection on the main issues and themes explored in the film Growing up Hmong at the Crossroads (2017):

a.    Describe the highlights of the journey of Justin, Joshua and Bella to Laos, to their cultural roots, through their travel to the country of origin of their parents for the first time in their lives: who did they travel with? why? who are the people they meet there? what places do they visit? what is the focus of their conversations? how does this trip impact them?

b.    How do the stories of other young Hmong people interviewed in the film portray their relationship to French society? Discuss how they view their place in French society: do they feel completely integrated as French citizens, or do they feel invisible, and how/why? Give a specific example from the film and discuss.

c.    How do experts interviewed in the film explain the situation of Hmong people in American and French society? cite specific quotes that reflect their views on factors that contribute to their situation.

d.    How does Cedric Lee, the voiceover and key young Hmong participant in the film, describe his own journey and identity? how does he view his relationship to Detroit and to American society?  How does he view his relationship to France and Laos? how do they fit in his individual identity?  How is their memory work connected with their desire to fit and create a place for themselves in French society and American society? What moments in the film do you consider thematically significant and why? give very specific examples from the film to support your answer.

Progress Report

/in /by

The purpose of the progress report is to:

reflect on your current experience and understanding to date in the program and
create planning objectives for the thesis/applied project behavioral research in which you will investigate questions related to socially meaningful behavior change.
The paper should be 2-3 pages in length, double-spaced and with 1-inch margins, using Times New Roman 12-point font, and adhere to APA format writing standards.

It should include sections in which you:

reflect on the content of the program thus far and the impact of school on other areas of your life and vice versa (e.g., job, family)
reflect on previous and current expectations you have for your graduate school experience
discuss your previous and current view/understanding of the science and practice of behavior analysis, particularly in terms of the kinds of research and treatment conducted by behavior analysts.
create at least three behaviorally-written goals for thesis/applied project preparation that you will achieve by the end of the semester. The three goals should target behavioral changes that will result in finding and regularly reading relevant research, keeping records about what you read, organizing the information, keeping track of what interests you, recording interesting research questions and replication ideas, a schedule for writing about behavior analytic literature, etc. as you move forward toward the thesis/project. *(Hint remember the thesis/project training you watched!)
include a short personal statement taking responsibility for your goals and the actions that will need to be taken to meet those goals.
*(Hint make a heading for each of the main areas of your paper that is related to those areas listed above!)

To help you write your professional goals, here are samples. Use this format.
