ST-Polymer Intrfaces/Thin Film
This course is an advanced, discussion-based look at the principles and measurement of properties related to polymer interfaces and thin films. This topic is of central importance to numerous applications/fields at the forefront of today's leading technologies, including nano- and bio-technology. The first half of the course will cover topics such as interfacial energy and wetting, thin film characterization techniques, and mechanics of thin films.
Black Artist As Historian
(Offered as BLST 333 [US], ARHA 355 and THDA 333.) Beginning with theorists Mark Godfrey and Hal Foster, this course will investigate what has been called a historical or archival turn in contemporary art production. Through the lens of black visual art, we will explore the varied ways that black artists have probed the meaning and production of history throughout the twentieth century, but also how these explorations have changed over time and in relationship to particular subject material (e.g., the history of slavery or more local and personal history). We will challeng

(Offered as BLST 233 [US] and THDA 233.) What does it mean to say that we "perform" our identities? What role can performance play in the fight for racial and social justice? As a people long denied access to literacy, what role has performance played in shaping the history of black Americans? Performance studies--an interdisciplinary field devoted to the study of a range of aesthetic practices--offers us insight into such questions. In this course, we will investigate various performance "sites" including contemporary plays, movies, and tel

George Büchner was only twenty-three when he died of typhus in 1837. This political activist, scientist and playwright, however, managed to cram an astonishing amount into his brief life and is widely recognized as one of Germany’s foremost literary voices. This course combines theory (reading literary and dramatic history) with directing methods and practices.
Boundaries of Belonging
How has law structured who belongs and who is foreign to the United States? In this class, we will take a broad historical look at the law of citizenship to answer this question. Beginning with the founding of the nation, we will consider the various ways that law has defined the fundamental privileges and obligations of national belonging, and then policed the boundaries between those entitled to the privileges of citizenship and those denied them.
Legal History of the US
Is U.S. law fundamentally inward-looking or is it “cosmopolitan”? Do jurisdictional boundaries and geographic borders constrain law or does law glide easily across them? Does law restrain or facilitate government power in international affairs? In this class we will consider the history of U.S. law and international affairs from the Declaration of Independence and the drafting of the U.S.
