Writing for Educ & HumDev Mjrs

This is a writing-intensive course that fulfills the University's Junior Writing requirement.

Decolonizing Child-Raising

Bringing together economics and linguistics, this course will critically examine public narratives around parenting and the raising of young children in a global context, drawing from intersectional, decolonial feminist political economy as well as a new line of linguistic inquiry examining the relationship between language and attachment. We will explore the theories from three distinct but overlapping feminist epistemologies: intersectionality, decolonial feminism, and social reproduction feminism.

Introductory Econometrics

This course introduces methods for analyzing and drawing reliable conclusions from economic data. The goal is to develop an intuitive understanding of econometric techniques used in answering research questions in the social sciences, management, and public policy. The course emphasizes computation rather than formal derivations. Students will practice using statistical software to conduct data analysis, visualization, and report writing.

Advanced Animation Seminar

In this advanced seminar, students develop a semester-long individual or group project in close conjunction with faculty guidance. Students may work in any animated medium. Individual projects evolve through a detailed and continuous process of research, reading, presentation, and peer critique. Emphasis is placed on narrative, personal voice, and producing festival-ready films. This course is typically taken in senior year and is only open to students who have completed introductory and intermediate courses in animation.

Introduction to Animation

Through short, hand-drawn 2D animation projects, students are introduced to primary animation skills such as timing and spacing, the 12 Principles of Animation, believable acting, and various professional workflows. Students gain experience working in a variety of animation and video editing programs and practice all parts of the animation pipeline, including pre-production, post-production, and project management.
