ST-Internet Pol & Governance

This class introduces students to actors, institutions and public interest battles fought nationally, regionally and globally for the control of the Internet. It considers the interaction between law, technological design, and policy solutions in shaping infrastructure, code and content of the global web.

Communicating EHS/Public

Most graduate students leave programs with an outstanding skillset in laboratory or field techniques, excellence in crafted impactful science writing meant for peer review, and having a number of opportunities for oral or poster presentations of results. Nevertheless, communicating science outside of ones discipline is a challenging skill across all science and engineering fields. When that science has critical relevance to public health, we must be well versed in constructing the right message that synthesizes the scientific underpinnings of research in order to inform public policy.

ST-Sustainable Product Innovtn

This course will be divided into two sections with a thread of sustainability-oriented innovation running throughout the semester. First, we will learn the basics of Systems Thinking, applying the issue of climate change to the process of mapping the system and learning opportunities for leverage. Next, students will be introduced to Biomimicry and Green Chemistry, both of which are needed in a truly sustainable nature-inspired innovation. The Biomimicry Institute runs an annual design challenge supplying a comprehensive toolbox to those who participate in the challenge.

ST-Offshore Wind Energy

Before construction begins on an offshore wind farm, there is a rigorous process of assessing ecological and environmental impacts, obtaining environmental and legal permits, and engaging with stakeholders. This process is expensive, and vital to the successful installation of an offshore wind farm; and indeed, critical to the success of this industry in the United States. A thorough understanding of these procedures is essential, to avoid unnecessary impacts to people and wildlife, and to minimize costly delays.

ST-Intermed/Adv Contemp Tech

A contemporary dance technique course with a focus on intermediate/advanced embodied methods in praxis. We attend to dance training in view of the phenomenon that accurate solutions to motor pattern organization questions are invariably unique to a dancer, task-interaction, and environment. As such, we will investigate, develop, and share differentiated and common solutions to aesthetically-concerned motor pattern organization questions.

Social Change in the 1960s

Few periods in United States. history experienced as much change and turmoil as the "Long Sixties" (1954-1975), when powerful social movements overhauled American gender norms, restructured the Democratic and Republican parties, and abolished the South's racist "Jim Crow" regime. This course examines the movements that defined this era.

S- Conversations/Ghost of Marx

In "Europe and the People without History," Eric Wolf, the late anthropologist notes that, "The social sciences constitute one long dialogue with the ghost of Marx." Feminists and anti-colonialists are among the many advocates of social justice who have engaged with Karl Marx's writing and fierce criticism of capitalism. This advanced seminar focuses on an exegesis of some of Marx's oeuvre and the historical and current scholarship that draws on, critiques, and pushes its boundaries.
