This course is for Div II and III students who are engaged in significant creative projects in dance, performance, or other embodied/interdisciplinary practices. Students should enter with a project in mind or underway. We will meet weekly to discuss and share tools for multiple stages of the creative process: goal-setting, planning, research, development, revising, and production/presentation. Students will share elements of works-in-process at regular intervals, and they will activate co-working methods and other structures of support.

This course offers a survey of Critical Indigenous studies- transnational and transdisciplinary theorizing from a new and emerging generation of Indigenous scholars. As a field, Critical Indigenous studies makes crucial interventions in our collective understanding of colonialism, empire, race, gender, sexuality, identity, democracy, personhood, migration, environmental justice, human rights, and multiculturalism.

This semester we will explore organic structure, reactivity, and spectroscopy through the study of aromatic molecules, carbonyl compounds, nitrogen-containing compounds, pericyclic reactions, and radical chemistry. The emphasis will be on organic mechanism and synthesis, along with relevance of the chemistry to biology, medicine, society, and environment. By the end of the semester you will have a solid intuitive sense of how organic molecules react and will be able to extrapolate your understanding to many inorganic molecules as well. Prerequisite: Organic Chemistry I.

This laboratory course will involve a full-class, full-semester research project aimed at the synthesis of catalysts allowing the use of renewable materials as chemical building blocks. Students will become proficient in synthetic organic laboratory techniques including running and monitoring air- and moisture-sensitive reactions. purifying compounds by extraction, distillation, and column chromatography, and characterizing compounds using physical, spectrometric and spectroscopic techniques, especially NMR and GC/MS.
