This course will focus on the artistic legacy of Judyie Al-Biali, professor of theater for social change, and her unpublished manuscript Between Tattoos: A Biomythography. Inspired by Audre Lorde, Al-Bilali's Between Tattoos weaves together history, autobiography and mythology to reflect the multifaceted nature of her own Black artistry and selfhood. Throughout the course, students will gain an understanding of contemporary Black Theatre primarily through the lens of applied theatre and theatrical jazz, both of which were fundamental components of Al-Bilali's artistic scholarship.

Advances in machine learning (ML) and deep learning are constantly transforming prototypes in research labs to valid solutions to real-world problems. Using ML entails developing end-to-end pipelines to collect data, preprocess it, and run learning and inference algorithms in a scalable manner. This results in computationally intensive workloads and complex software pipelines. Systems for ML help users organize their data and scale these computationally intensive problems to larger and larger datasets. This seminar will review cutting-edge research on these topics.

The course will cover hurricanes (tropical cyclones), including their structure, origin, dynamics, impacts, historical and future-climate behavior, emphasizing theoretical concepts and the measurements of the atmosphere that underpin these concepts. Measurements will include ground-based and airborne Doppler radars, satellites, and in-situ platforms.
