The goal of counseling is to help others to create more satisfying lives for themselves. Clients learn to create and capitalize on unexpected events to open up new opportunities. The success of counseling is judged, not by the words and actions of the counselor, but by the progress that the client makes in the real world after counseling itself is ended. Students are encouraged to exert their full efforts within reasonable time limits to improve their competence. (PSE)

The 19th century has been depicted as the age of nationalism. The nation-state as a blueprint and mass schooling as a nation-state project emerged and diffused. The transformation of transnational masses into national citizens is a core dynamic of this seminar, with special attention to how schools functioned as laboratories for nationalism. Readings will include Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities, and selected chapters from Eugene Weber's Peasants to Frenchmen and from Michael Schudson's The Good Citizen. In recent decades, questions have been raised about nationalism and the role of schools in promoting nationalism. Some of these questions emphasize a cosmopolitan narrative that valorizes humanity, while others have stressed multiculturalism and the valorization of diversity. These questions are anchored in a human rights discourse that leads to the second core dynamic of this seminar: the rise of a human rights regime, in particular its educational manifestations and its impact on portraits of citizenship and nation in school textbooks. Readings will include chapters from Helen Stacy's Human Rights in the 20th Century and Samuel P. Huntington's Who Are We: The Challenges to America's National Identitiy, as well as several by Professor Ramirez that reflect his ongoing research interest in human rights and human rights educa- tion. Preference will be given to students with an interest in social science.
