S-The Unexceptional US

We will attempt to read and interpret historically in ways that move beyond national, and nationalist, readings of U.S. history. Rather than survey all of American social and cultural history in a single speeding semester, we will focus on four particular periods of U.S. history, four moments where events in America received international attention. We'll begin with the colonial encounter, then skip to the Age of Revolutions, followed by Harlem Renaissance, and, finally, end in the Vietnam war.

S-Neuroplasticity

The potential plasticity of the nervous system has therapeutic implications that have, in recent years, been marketed to help people "train their brains" to improve cognitive function. This class will discuss the biological mechanisms of neural plasticity, as well as the theory and methodology of intervention- or training-based neuroscience research. Most importantly, we will assess the validity of interventions designed to improve brain functioning by critically evaluating the primary research articles that are the basis of this rapidly growing field.
