FYS-Mobile and Wearable Tech

This seminar will explore current and future mobile and wearable technologies. Each week, students will be introduced to a new technology (e.g. smartphones, smartwatches, smart glasses, biosensors, VR headsets, mo-cap suits). Students will learn about the design processes and decisions behind building these technologies, including their use cases, UI/UXs, and data collection.

Race&Sensory Percept./19C Lit

This literature course considers the role of the senses in imagining what Black freedom might look like. Can freedom be sensed? How are the senses shaped by politics, economics, and history? By examining a range of African American literary texts before 1900, we will track how Black writers such as Harriet Jacobs, Martin Delany, Charles Chesnutt, and Phillis Wheatley Peters have used literature to explore the intertwinement of political possibility with sensory perception. We will also draw upon a number of texts from the larger abolitionist movement.
