In this course, we investigate what makes Dante's Divine Comedy one of the major classics of world literature, and why this poem is still relevant in today's imagination and politics. By reading Inferno (Hell) in its entirety, we will establish a foundation for Dante's influence as a national, regional and global source of inspiration across the ages, and explore the major themes of the Comedy: love, sin, freedom, religion, violence, and politics. Dante's encyclopedic knowledge will be our reference map to navigate the complexity of our age.

An introduction to the study of molecules of high molecular weights with emphasis on synthetic rather than naturally occurring polymers. Topics include polymerization, structures, molecular weight determination, molecular weight distribution, chain configurations, rubber elasticity, and thermodynamics and statistical mechanics of polymer solutions.

The purpose of this seminar is to discuss, theorize, and understand the importance of oral history (the recording of life experiences) for silenced communities alienated from prevailing historical discourses. Oral history forces us to look at history from "below," to acquire "new ways of seeing," and to delineate new epistemologies. Some of the questions that will guide the course include: Who "makes history"? Why have certain individuals been studied while others ignored?
