A History of Economic Thought — PEC2268.01

Instructor: Carly Rudzinski
Credits: 4
This course explores how ideas about the economy – from money, to labor, to distribution – have changed over time. We will focus on modern theories of the economy, including those of the mercantilists, physiocrats, classical political economists, and neoclassical economists, placing these ideas in their global context. Our most central focus will be on thinkers working within

A History of Mathematics — MAT2403.01

Instructor: Tim Kane
Credits: 4
Symbolism has played a central role in the development of mathematics.  From Babylonian cuneiform tablets to today’s modern algebraic notation, the evolution of mathematical thought requires new symbols as new symbols allow for more abstract and analytical reasoning.  While exploring the general themes and historical periods of mathematics, this course will focus on

A Material World — SCU2113.01

Instructor: John Umphlett
Credits: 2
This course is directed at the student who is interested in furthering a visual vocabulary and conceptual enhancement through material introductions and demonstrations.  The class will be based primarily on mastering methods of working with both thermo forming and thermo setting plastics.

A Philosophy of Data — DA2132.01

Instructor: Mimi Onuoha
Credits: 4
We live in a world where more data has been and is being collected than ever before. But what does that mean? What information can we glean from the data? How do we represent what is being collected, and more importantly, what is missed? This intro-level course examines the emergent fields of data collection, analysis, and visualization from an art perspective, asking how the

A Play Takes Place in the Audience — DRA4133.01

Instructor: Sherry Kramer
Credits: 4
A play is a unique, self organizing process which generates new states of order spontaneously out of nothing. It uses this order to create a perception shift in the audience. We will read 10 plays together to investigate the way that plays generate meaning. There will be a series of short writing exercises, and students will write a 30-90 minute play as their final project.

A Voice from a Wound: Trauma and Memory in Hispanophone Literature — SPA4802.01

Instructor: Sarah Harris
Credits: 4
This advanced Spanish course is a study of the paradox of trauma literature. Stories that compel their telling, yet are unassimilated and unspeakable, trauma narratives grow out of disaster and crisis on an individual and/or collective scale. To better understand Anne Whitehead’s assertion that “Novelists have frequently found that the impact of trauma can only adequately be

about the membrane — SCU2216.01

Instructor: John Umphlett
Days & Time: TH 8:30am-12:10pm
Credits: 4

This course focuses on the additive construction methods essential to contemporary sculpture. Students will embark on independent projects that hone their skills in constructing armatures and exploring innovative skinning techniques. Throughout the term, participants will learn to build and manipulate forms using primarily additive processes,

Ź Time — MCO4109.01

Instructor: Nicholas Brooke
Days & Time: MO,TH 3:40pm-5:30pm
Credits: 4

In this course, students will work on an extended piece (10+ minutes), as well as a suite of miniatures (< 30 seconds). By playing with scale and continuity, students will be challenged to find their own way to extend their ideas while enriching their own musical language. Students can propose a piece in any style or forces, and we will work together to

Abstract Algebra — MAT4223.01) (cancelled 10/11/2023

Instructor: Andrew McIntyre
Credits: 4
Abstract algebra begins with the algebra of polynomial equations. We all learn (and mostly forget) the solution of quadratic polynomial equations in school, and the "quadratic formula". A corresponding method, and a formula, was discovered in the 1500s for both cubic and quartic equations (involving x to the third or fourth power), but people searched for a method for quintic

Abstract Algebra — MAT4144.01

Instructor: Carly Briggs
Credits: 4
This course will be organized around two main themes. One will be the analysis of symmetries, in particular the symmetries of tiling patterns and crystals. The other will be classical polynomial algebra, in particular the analysis of the extent to which polynomial equations may be solved explicitly (and what that means). The relevant mathematical topics are what are known as

Abstract Algebra and Number Theory — MAT4343.01

Instructor: Andrew McIntyre
Credits: 4
The goal of this class is to introduce the standard topics and theorems of a first abstract algebra course (groups, rings, modules, and fields), in a historically motivated context, primarily through number theory. Number theory asks questions about whole numbers: for example, are there infinitely many fundamentally different "Pythagorean triples", where two whole number

Access is a Practice: Dance and Disability Studies — DAN4373.01

Instructor: Londs Reuter
Days & Time: TU,FR 2:10pm-4:00pm
Credits: 2

Accessibility describes the practice of freeing a space or an event so it might be visited by more people in more ways than one could ever presume at the outset. In this course, we will explore the litany of practices that allow more people (and in particular, disabled, mad, and chronically ill people) into all spheres of public life with a particular focus on performance

Accidents, Glitches and Errors/From Content to Form — DAN2360.01

Instructor: Elena Demyanenko
Credits: 2
This is a practice for participants of any discipline to activate the desired body, in their chosen form or medium. Trusting the intrinsic intelligence of the body, as well as discovering the glitches that contribute to the making process, we will source multiple systems (muscular, skeletal, fluid, organ) and other ways of reading the body (energy, emotion, history, trauma).

Acoustic/Electronic — MCO4128.01

Instructor: Allen Shawn Senem Pirler
Credits: 2
In this course students will compose a substantial work for either solo, duo, or trio configurations, integrating acoustic and electronic elements together to create an electroacoustic piece.  This class will be co-taught by Allen Shawn and Senem Pirler. Students will learn and analyze electroacoustic pieces in the history of composition, and how to integrate electronics
