This course explores the relationship of women (cis, trans, identifying as non-binary) to the social, cultural, economic, and political developments shaping the United States as an empire from 1890 to the present. It examines the regulation of womxn's bodies and sexualities, the gendered narrative of imperialism, and womxn's resistance to imperial power at home and abroad. This course will specifically focus on how class, race, ethnicity, and sexual identity have affected womxn's historical experience through a transnational lens.

The transformation of the Atlantic World from a world of empires into one of nation-states through examining the interactions between Africans, American Natives, and Europeans from the fifteenth through the end of the eighteenth century. (Gen. Ed. HS, DG)

Advanced jazz technique, including body isolations, syncopation, specific jazz dance traditions, and movement analysis. Emphasis on musical and rhythmic phrasing, efficient alignment, performance clarity, and performance style. Taught on one campus each semester. Location alternates between the University and Smith. Placement in the course is by Five College audition.

This course will focus on the main characteristics of French science fiction and fantasy literature in the 20th and 21st centuries through the study of three novels, a short story anthology, and a comic book. The common theme that all these narratives share is how humanity envisions its evolution - as can be seen through the exploration of how Jules Verne, magicians, witches, and dragons fit together in uchronic and steampunk possible worlds. The science fiction texts also address the related themes of the very limits of the differences between men and animals and the posthuman agenda.

Course taught in French.

An introduction to German cinema, treating Weimar Expressionism, Nazi film and
anti-Nazi exile cinema, film in post-WWII East and West Germany, and German film
since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Conducted in English. (Gen.Ed. AT)

This course is designed to address the critical issues students face in their transition into the professional world. The underlying vehicle of the course consists of small group projects as well as individual case studies. The course culminates with each student compiling a personalized file of essential resources, ideas, trends, strategies and people unique to their dance career aspirations. This "map" will empower students as they navigate their journey from campus to the real world.

Crystal symmetry; the principles of X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques; methods of solving crystal structures. Bonding in solids; metals, covalent and ionic materials. The band model and solid state electronic structure. Crystal defects and non-stoichiometry. Electrical and magnetic properties of solids; superconductivity, organic conductors, ferroelectric and semiconductor devices. Prerequisites: CHEM 474 or 476 and CHEM 546 or equivalents.

This course seeks to build a foundation of physical principles underlying neuroengineering techniques, including electrical, optical, and magnetic approaches to neural recording and stimulation. We will discuss neural recording probes and materials considerations that influence the quality of the signals and longevity of the probes in the brain. This will be accompanied by the discussion of evolution of neural probes from microwires in the 1950s, to Utah arrays in the 1980s, to modern Neuropixels, meshes, and fibers.
