This course is devoted to anthropological perspectives on global health projects and paradigms. We will interrogate how current global health programs emerged from 19th and 20th century development logics, as well as the concurrent rise of discourses, laws and practices that posited healthcare as a universal human right, and how these transformations of these concepts are still mobilized in global health strategies today.

Health is about bodies, selves and politics. We will explore a series of health topics from feminist perspectives. How do gender, sexuality, class, disability, and age influence the ways in which one perceives and experiences health and the access one has to health information and health care? Are heteronormativity, cissexism, or one's place of living related to one's health status or one's health risk?

A dancer moving through space embodies a variety of physics concepts. This course investigates the science of movement, including force, energy, momentum and gravity, using both movement exercises and physics techniques. Considering dance traditions from around the globe, we will study ideas relevant to group choreographies, such as entropy, space, and time. We will also explore whether movement can be used to conceptualize abstract topics such as special relativity and quantum mechanics. Students will perform movement exercises both individually and in groups.

For our entire lives, movies have captured our attention, whether at the theater or on our phones. Filmmaking is a highly technical art, and scientific principles determine what is possible. Filmmakers develop creative solutions within these principles to trick the viewer into believing what they see. Advances in science also advance filmmaking, influencing photography, production design, and so on. Additionally, scientists use these techniques to carry out their research. This course will explore the many intersections of science and filmmaking.

This a calculus-based physics course designed for students intending to major in physics, astronomy, or another physical science, though all are welcome. It also fulfills pre-health requirements. Students will learn how to apply fundamental physics concepts such as force, energy, momentum to a variety of mechanical situations, including projectile motion, human movement, fluid motion, and planetary motion.

This is an algebra-based second-semester physics course geared towards students intending on careers in health professions, though it is open to all. Topics are drawn from the MCAT syllabus, and include electricity, magnetism, waves (sound and light), and nuclear physics. This is the spring semester continuation of the PHYS-100 course in the fall, but students who have taken PHYS-110 (or any equivalent) are also eligible to join.
