History/Sexuality&Race/US

This course is an introduction to the interdisciplinary feminist study of sexuality. Its primary goal is to provide a forum for students to consider the history of sexuality and race in the U.S. both in terms of theoretical frameworks within women's and gender studies, and in terms of a range of sites where those theoretical approaches become material, are negotiated, or are shifted. The course is a fully interdisciplinary innovation.

Language,Culture&Communication

Language is an important cultural and political force that shapes all aspects of our individual lives and shared experiences as communities. This class explores the causes and consequences of how people learn to use language, of common beliefs about "accents," and of how language changes over time. We will investigate the power of language in many current issues such as health, climate change, racism, and transphobia. (Gen.Ed. SB, DG)

IntroRobotcs:PercpMechDynCntrl

This course covers basic methods and concepts in order to explain how robots work. We will study how they sense things in the world, how you make a robot move, and how robots can make their own decisions. We will study mechanisms (kinematics and dynamics), actuators, sensors, signal processing (with an emphasis on computer vision), feedback control theory, machine learning, and path planning. Students will build software systems for simulated robots to reinforce the material presented in class.
