The class will explore advanced topics in general relativity, picking up where P568/821 left off. Topics in black hole physics will include BH solutions with rotation and in the presence of a non-zero cosmological constant; BH thermodynamics and Hawking radiation. We will discuss interior solutions to Einstein's equations for stars and neutron stars. The physics of gravitational radiation will be presented in more depth, including the derivation of the quadrupole formula for power radiated by a source.

Introduction to syntactic theory, with implications for universal grammar and grammatical theory in general. Topics include theories of phrase structure, the form and functioning of transformations, grammatical relations, anaphora and control, word order problems, universals of grammar, relations between grammatical theory and learnability, language acquisition. Honors option may be available. Prerequisite: LINGUIST 201.

Course taught in English. In this course, students will explore the mind-body connection and its implications for conceptions of gender, identity, and power, both interpersonal and political through close analysis of visual art, texts, and films. Though the works we will analyze in this class were all produced in 20th-century Italy and center on representations of women and their bodies, all of these works appeal to a broad base of students.
