Participants will explore the base-ten structure of the number system, consider how that structure is exploited in multi-digit computational procedures, and examine how basic concepts of whole numbers reappear when working with decimals. They will study the various ways children naturally tend to think about separating and combining numbers and what children must understand in order to work with numbers in these ways.

This course provides an in-depth overview of the key theoretical approaches to the study of cinema by examining historically significant ways of analyzing film form and its social and cultural functions and effects. The course seeks to equip students with a command of the diverse history of theoretical frameworks for understanding the medium and experience of cinema, from early concerns over film's relation to other arts to the way the movie as a cultural form has been reconceptualized within the contemporary explosion of new media.

Reproductive Justice course is designed to explore social scientific, feminist, and critical approaches to reproductive health issues.

What makes a voice universal? How does identity color our reading or alter our expectations of a poem? How does a poet's identity inform their poetic approach? In this course, we'll shift our focus from poetry to poet, text to context, and back, as we explore how the poet's identity operates both within their work and outside of it.

Create artwork in multiples using the graphic language of printmaking. Students will learn techniques such as woodcut, monotype, drypoint, and more experimental methods. Learn to pull prints on the small etching press as well as transfer techniques that do not require special equipment. Develop an understanding of the history of these processes as a way to disseminate ideas and images. In addition to studio projects, students will have an exchange of prints, view works in the collection of a museum, and have a visiting artist critic. The course will culminate in a self-directed project.
