COLQ: TOPICS IN BLACK STUDIES

Topics course This course conceptualizes the Caribbean as a space of constant movement by examining the socio-economic and cultural dimensions of migration in the region, especially among the Anglo Caribbean nationals after Emancipation in 1838. Students will explore themes such as Pan Africanism, Garveyism and Labor and the implications for race and class relations in Caribbean societies greatly affected by migration. Comparative analysis forms a key component of this course.

CALCULUS II

Applications of the integral, dynamical systems, infinite series, and approximation of functions. Situations in science and social sciences in which calculus naturally arises are emphasized. Students may not receive credit for both 114 and 112 Prerequisite: MTH 111 or the equivalent.

DISCOVERING MATH

Topics course. What did people think about the shape of our world before we knew it was a sphere? We will take a tour of mathematics related to this question, from the Egyptians and Babylonians to the present. The "possible" shapes of the world are now mathematically well understood. The question of the shape of the universe involves higher dimensional mathematical objects, and relates to the recently proved Poincare conjecture. First stated in 1904, it was viewed as one of the seven most important problems of the new millennium.

STUDIO:ART AND ECOLOGY

Environmental designers are in the unique and challenging position of bridging the science of ecology and the art of place-making. This landscape design studio emphasizes the dual necessity for solutions to ecological problems that are artfully designed and artistic expressions that reveal ecological processes. Beginning with readings, precedent studies and in-depth site analysis, students will design a series of projects that explore the potential for melding art and ecology. Enrollment limited to 14.

FEM & WOM MVMT:LAT AM SOC JUST

Same as SOC 244. This course is designed to familiarize students with the history of Latin American and Latina (primarily Chicana) feminist thought and activism. A central goal of the course is to provide an understanding of the relationship between feminist thought, women's movements and local/national contexts and conditions. The writings of Latin American and Latina feminists will comprise the majority of the texts; thus we are limited to the work of those who write and/or publish in English.

FORBDN LOVE:CINEM/DESIRE/ISRAE

How does film challenge social boundaries through narratives of forbidden love and intercultural relationships? By juxtaposing cultural and ideological worlds in conflict cinema has a long tradition of subverting the very rigid social restrictions it recreates on screen. Our course will focus on Israeli cinema to contemplate this universal phenomenon, with comparative segues into Hollywood?s re-visioning of racial and social divisions and its performance of the Jew on screen.
