S-Decolonial Reconstellations

This interdisciplinary seminar serves as a core course of the Decolonial Global Studies Certificate (DGS). Students from all disciplines are welcome whether or not you are pursuing the Certificate. Focusing on non-eurocentric, non-androcentric analyses of world political economy and culture, we will engage with diverse emancipatory and critical approaches, including decolonial, postcolonial, Indigenous, intersectional, queer, Marxist, speculative, transnational, and inter-imperial.

International Economy

This class provides an introduction to the operation of international economic systems. It emphasizes both contemporary dynamics of global economic functioning as well as the historical development of global economic systems as they have unfolded over time. A particular focus of the class is on the institutions that enable and govern economic activity ? meaning institutions of law and property rights, national governmental policies, and the international organizations that govern global economic processes.

Quantum Computing/CommNetworks

In this course, we discuss how quantum computing (QC) enables new paradigms in the design, optimization, and operation of communication networks, the benefits of computing parallelism enabled by quantum computers and quantum search algorithms in networking, quantum machine learning, and solutions to network security in advanced networks. We will review the latest results in this area and test several QC algorithms on small-scale quantum computers.

Live Digital Sports Productn I

In conjunction with UMass Athletics, this course creates opportunities for students to work in live sports production for ESPN+, NESN, web streaming and in-house video board shows while earning degree credit. Through lectures, observation, analysis, hands-on labs and working as crew for UMass sporting events, students will gain an understanding of the various elements necessary to produce a live sports broadcast. They?ll also build skills, clips and actual on-the-job training for their resumes and portfolios.
