(Offered as ARCH 369, EUST 369, GERM 369, and THDA 281) This research seminar will explore conceptions of time as they have informed and influenced thought and creativity in the fields of cultural studies, literature, architecture, urban studies, philosophy, neuroscience, performance, and the visual, electronic, and time-based arts.
(Offered as ARCH 301 and ARHA 301) This course is for students who want to create an in-depth design project. Students will use a variety of approaches, including precedent research, analysis, and graphic exploration as they take a design through various iterations from conception to more detailed resolution. Foregrounding issues of architecture, landscape architecture, and the built environment, all students will have the opportunity to develop their own distinct design voice.

(Offered as ARCH 251 and ARHA 251) What can we learn about architecture from graphic narrative representations, real and imagined, of cities and buildings? In exploring this question, the course studies how architecture and urban spaces have been traditionally represented throughout a century and a half of modern graphic narrative. This course reflects upon what those representations reveal regarding who is included and how, among other issues.
(Offered as ARCH 205 and ARHA 205) This theory seminar aims to provide students with a strong basis for a deep engagement with the practice of sustainability in architectural design. The studied material covers both canonical literature on green design and social science-based critical theory. We start by exploring the key tenets of the sustainable design discourse, and how these tenets materialize in practice. Then, we examine sustainable design in relation to issues such as inequality and marginality.
(Offered as ANTH 317 and ASLC 317) This course teaches students how to design research projects and analyze data about people in China. Students will read about and discuss previous findings from the instructor’s longitudinal project about Chinese only-children and their families, and findings from comparable projects in China and elsewhere.
(Offered as AMST 368, BLST 368 and ENGL 368) History has long valorized passive, obedient, and long-suffering African American women alongside assertive male protagonists and savants. This course provides an alternative narrative to this representation by exploring the ways in which African American female characters, writers, and artists have challenged ideals of stoicism and submission. Using an interdisciplinary focus, we will critically examine transgression across time and space in diverse twentieth- and early twenty-first century literary, sonic, and visual texts.
