Special Projects in Spanish — SPA4812.01

Instructor: Jonathan Pitcher
Days & Time: MO,TH 10:00am-11:50am
Credits: 4

In lieu of more conventional advanced Spanish classes, paralleling a series of often disparate tutorials, with tutees working in relative isolation, the proposal is to allow students free rein over an idea for a final, term-long project, while concurrently offering them an educated, exoteric audience to assist in fleshing out their work. Faculty will provide

Special Relativity — PHY4210.01

Instructor: Hugh Crowl
Credits: 2
Classical physics describes the motions of large things moving at slow speeds. That description of the universe, which physicists used to describe the motion of objects from apples to planets for hundreds of years, does not hold for objects moving very fast. In this class, we will look at how traveling close to the speed of light affects the physical properties of objects.

Days & Time: TBA
Credits: 4
Working from George Perec's text, this studio will explore strategies of describing the physical world, with an emphasis on the elements of architecture.  The subjects of the work will include rooms, buildings, cities and maps, both real and imaginary.

Spectra and Tensors: Topics in Linear Algebra — MAT4239.01

Instructor: Andrew McIntyre
Days & Time: MO,TH 1:40pm-3:30pm
Credits: 4

This intermediate/advanced linear algebra class will focus mostly on two main topics: spectra, and tensors. The theory of matrix spectra, (eigenvalues and eigenvectors), is arguably one of the most useful ideas in all of mathematics. We will discuss some major applications, such as input-output models in economics, the Page Rank algorithm, JPEG compression, the Fast Fourier

Speculative Fiction — LIT2422.01

Instructor: Paul La Farge
Credits: 4
For the last hundred years or so, speculative fiction has been a way for writers to imagine the future, but also, implicitly or explicitly, to think about the present.

Critical fabulation, as coined by Saidiya Hartman in the essay “Venus in Two Acts,” is a method for recovering unwritten histories. By

Speech Islands, Island Speech — LIN2113.01

Instructor: Thomas Leddy-Cecere
Days & Time: TU,FR 2:10pm-4:00pm
Credits: 4

Are islands only geographic, or can they be social?  Can a community be an island, the way an island can be a community?  For almost two centuries, linguists have used the metaphor of “speech islands” to describe groups of people speaking one language who live surrounded by speakers of another.  These communities may be

Spiraling around, Movement Practice — DAN2416.01

Instructor: Martin Lanz
Days & Time: MO,TH 1:40pm-3:30pm
Credits: 2

In this course we will explore spiraling in and out of the floor. This is a rigorous movement class that focuses on traveling through space, using the spirals embedded in the body and exploring how these will help us to separate from the floor and come back to it, creating movement sequences and phrases used mainly in postmodern dance

Sport in Latin America — SPA4496.01

Instructor: Jonathan Pitcher
Credits: 4
This course will analyze the symbolic and practical meaning of a range of sports and their commodification (both imported and exported), not least in the apparently perpetual definition and redefinition of national ideologies and regional identities, the continuation or disruption of collective memory, agency or lack thereof, race, class, and politics, thus contextualizing

Sports — FV4105.01

Credits: 4
This intermediate video production course will explore the relationship between moving image and athletics. Students will examine the work of pivotal figures from Leni Riefenstahl to O.J. Simpson in an effort to understand the role sports play in society, art and life. Studio projects will focus on formal issues from camera movement, stabilization, resolution, depth
