In moments of political and economic crises, activist-artists -- or artivists -- consistently and creatively respond to the call for social change. They generate art as social action and also realize a new social world into being through art. Drawing from interdisciplinary perspectives, this seminar investigates the "who, what, where, when, why and how" of creative artistic resistance.

The field of U.S. Ethnic studies underscores how the Unites States was founded upon intersectional systems of injustice. From its inauguration, Ethnic Studies sought to disrupt the fundamental principles that inform higher education.

Many of the things we accept as modern social, political, artistic and scientific movements have their roots in the 1960s. This course, designed to bring junior honors college students into a common intellectual experience, will feature a series of twelve lectures delivered by dynamic professors noted in their fields, on such topics as the Vietnam War, Student Activism, Health Care, Space Program, Civil Rights Movement, Counterculture Movements, Environmentalism, Architecture, Black Power, and Women?s Rights.

The ubiquity of sensor-equipped smartphones and wearables has led to increased interest in leveraging these signals for mobile healthcare, wearability and interaction, entertainment, and other applications. This seminar will explore research issues in sensor computing including: a) inference of human activity, gestures, cognitive state, health state, and physiological markers, by leveraging sensor signals from wearable devices, mobile phones, radio-frequency devices, and other sources, b) computational pipelines for extracting features and analyzing data from a variety of sensors (e.g.
