Welcome to the future. Or at least, welcome to some futures as depicted in 20th century literature, music, and film. In this class, we will critically analyze the concept of the future and what representations of the future say both about an author?s social, political, and philosophical perspective as well as the cultural moment when a particular future is created. Along the way, we will discuss the many twists of futurity, with particular emphasis on time travel, dystopianism, technophobia, feminism, difference, afrofuturism, consumerism, robots, boy bands, and more.

What insights do films with end-of-the-world scenarios, dystopian futures, and post-apocalyptic themes offer into the cultural moment that produces them? From alien invasions and planetary collisions to cataclysmic war and totalitarian dystopias, from the zombie apocalypse and the rise of machines, to human extinction and the end of civilization, what do these films tell us about contemporary realities? How do they speak to our anxieties and fears about the future as well as our hopes and aspirations? In what ways do these films pose and explore questions of the "human"?

This 2-credit seminar will have two components. The first will be a weekly hour-long seminar where students will be introduced to and discuss fundamentals of teaching secondary math - common core, curriculum, assessment, and resources. The second credit hour will be earned through supporting either Math 113 or 114. This will involve coming to all classes, working with small groups, leading a whole-class discussion, and teaching a mini-lesson. Students may also hold office hours for the 113/114 students.
