Cuba: Nation, Race, and Revolution: This interdisciplinary course critically engages a range of frameworks (geopolitical, historical, sociological, literary, cultural) to study the complex and contested reality of Cuba. The course will begin by critiquing and decentering the stereotypical images of Cuba that circulate in U.S. popular and official culture.

This course serves as an introduction to B&W photography, 35mm film, and darkroom printing. Students will learn how to make silver gelatin prints, and conceptually compose a body of work. Towards the end of the semester students will spend some time scanning their B&W film and editing their scans using Adobe Photoshop. Throughout this course students will be introduced to historical and contemporary artists working within the medium of B&W photography.

This course is intended for advanced photography students who want to continue to build upon their photographic practice. Students will be expected to work on 1 long term project that may evolve and change as the semester goes on. Class sessions will consist of weekly intensive critiques and reading discussions. Having already taken Photography I & II is highly recommended but not required. Students will be expected to produce a large amount of photographs and be ready to work independently. The final project will consist of a class installation of everyone's work and a final critique.

This course will provide an introduction to organic laboratory techniques and experimental design through a progression of structured, inquiry-based, and student-designed experiments. Emphasis will be placed on the synthesis, purification, and characterization of organic compounds, but we will also carry out an inquiry-based mechanistic study of organic reactivity. Students will gain experience with reaction setup, liquid-liquid extraction, distillation, recrystallization, column chromatography, GC/MS, NMR and infrared spectroscopy, and other common synthetic and analytical methods.

This course is an introduction to the structure, properties, reactivity, and spectroscopy of organic molecules, as well as their significance in our daily lives. We will first lay down the groundwork for the course, covering bonding, physical properties of organic compounds, conformational analysis, stereochemistry, and kinetics and thermodynamics of organic reactions. We will then move on to the reactions of alkanes, alkyl halides, alcohols and ethers, alkenes, and alkynes, emphasizing the molecular mechanisms that allow us to predict and understand chemical behavior.

Many hypotheses and questions are best addressed through the careful collection and analysis of data. This course will guide students in the development and execution of a data-driven, Division II supported project. Students will identify a relevant question that can be addressed through data analysis, they will identify sources of data, they will design an appropriate methodology, they will analyze their data, and they will write up and present their results.

Feminist pedagogy is a radical philosophy of teaching and learning. It is an approach, rather than a toolbox of assorted tips and strategies, that is rooted in feminist, anti-racist critiques of power and knowledge, and is deeply informed by the values of social justice feminism and feminist practice.
