The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and the repressive, right-wing military regime of Francisco Franco (1939-1975) have shaped contemporary thought and cultural production in Spain. Cinema in particular shows a persistent concern with war and memory. The films studied in this course raise a number of philosophical and political questions to this effect. How does the devastation of war register through the medium of film? How do censorship and propaganda condition memory, and how does the past return in a postdictatorship? What and why do people choose to remember or to forget?

This course provides an overview of statistical methods, their conceptual underpinnings, and their use in various settings taken from current news, as well as from the physical, biological, and social sciences. Topics will include exploring distributions and relationships, planning for data production, sampling distributions, basic ideas of inference (confidence intervals and hypothesis tests), inference for distributions, and inference for relationships, including chi-square methods for two-way tables and regression.

A fundamental fact of science is that repeated measurements exhibit variability. The course presents ways to design experiments that will reveal systematic patterns while 'controlling' the effects of variability and methods for the statistical analysis of data from well-designed experiments. Topics include completely randomized, randomized complete block, Latin Square and factorial designs, and their analysis of variance. The course emphasizes applications, with examples drawn principally from biology, psychology, and medicine.

In this course students will learn about statistical methods for analyzing categorical data. Chi-square tests, measures of association, logistic regression, and loglinear modeling techniques. Background should include estimation, hypothesis test, regression modeling, and the analysis of variance.

An introduction to performance through a variety of improvisational exercises designed for developing basic techniques. After exploring visual, aural, tactical, and literary performance sources, the students will rehearse and present two performance projects.

This course will take you through the theatrical process of creating clothing and accessories for the stage. Hand sewing techniques, fabric use and identification, and clothing alterations are covered. We will explore basic pattern drafting and draping, and some accessory construction will also be covered. We will work from costume renderings to build and alter clothing for our productions.

An introduction to the art and practice of lighting design (with some sound design) for the theatre. This course will cover the basics about light, lighting equipment and how to develop a design. Students will learn how to draft a light plot, focus lights, and build light cues.

What's the difference between acting and being, and how does the idea of 'performance' structure this difference? How do we 'perform' our own identities, and how do we interpret the performances of others? This seminar offers a basic introduction to performance studies, an exciting new discipline through which everyday life, ritual behaviors, and artistic practices are studied. Perspectives from the arts, humanities, and social sciences will be explored using both textual and performative approaches.
