Course cancelled. In-person Course. Climate variability and climate change impact many aspects of society, as well as ecosystem health and well-being. In order to best account for the many ways in which climate variability and change can impact places, people, and ecosystems, it is important to consider climate information that is available, accessible, and appropriate for a particular regional geography. This course will focus on building student understanding of the dynamics of climate variability and change at regional spatial scales, as well as consider different types of climate information available for use in decision-making contexts, including for climate adaptation and resilience-building. 1 Credit.

Course closed to further enrollment. In-person Course. This seminar examines Asian American history and culture through the lens of affect. Whether the political demands of revolutionaries and rebels in the 1970s, the broken English of stereotyped Asian immigrants on TV, or the melancholic musings of “cut fruit” diaspora poets, affect—in other words: emotion, or etymologically, the capacity to “move” or be “moved”—generates social constructs around Asian American race, gender, and sexuality. Historically, affect has worked with and through the economic, the political, and the cultural to generate categories including (but not limited to) the orient, the indebted refugee, and the model minority. By studying a range of contemporary cultural representations—across poetry, literature, film, and music—students will consider how Asian Americans reproduce and/or trouble these reductive tropes by exhibiting and embodying their own dis/affective poetics and politics. Example texts and themes include but are not limited to: Yoko Ono, Ocean Vuong, Crazy Rich Asians, Beef, Kim’s Convenience, nerds, rave culture, “sad girl music,” and YouTube personalities (nigahiga, Lilly Singh, and Wong Fu Productions). 1 Credit. Session B: June 29 – July 31. Tuition: $5480.

Course closed to further enrollment. In-person Course. This course explores the material culture of American medicine. From instruments like thermometers and scalpels to imaging tools like X-rays and MRIs to everyday aids like glasses, prosthetics and fitness tracking apps—technology suffuses medicine today. In this course, we will analyze particular technologies as both physical and cultural objects in historical context. In addition to investigating the definition of medical technology, we will also consider a range of themes and questions, among them: why do some technologies succeed and others fail? What is the relationship between medical technology and power? How do race, class, gender, and sexuality impact the creation and use of medical technology? We will pay particular attention to the themes of expertise, authority, and identity. In addition to reading primary and secondary sources, we will work closely with materials from the Medical Historical Library. Students can expect to emerge from the course prepared to analyze medical technologies and place them in historical context in American medicine. The course will culminate in a student-run exhibition of medical technologies. 1 Credit. Session B: June 29 – July 31. Tuition: $5480.

Course cancelled. Online Course. This seminar explores the history of right-wing political thought from the late eighteenth century to the present, with an emphasis on the role played by religious and pagan traditions. This course seeks to answer the questions: what constitutes the right? What are the central principles and values of those groups associated with this designation? And what are the defining features of what is commonly referred to as the “global right?” It will do so by examining primary tracts written by theologians, political philosophers, and social theorists as well as secondary literature written by scholars interrogating various movements and ideologies associated with the Right in America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Though touching on specific national political parties, institutions, and think tanks, its focus will be on mapping the intellectual similarities and differences between various right-wing ideologies. The “Right” emerged alongside its counterpoint, the "left," as early as 1692 to describe the congregation patterns surrounding the French Monarch, but it was not until the Revolution of 1789 when it gained its current political meaning. As the French Chamber of Deputies debated the rights of man and royal veto powers it was suggested that opponents to these measures sit du côté droit, while supporters place themselves du côté gauche. The division, many complained, was too absolute and left no room for nuance or political idiosyncrasies. Yet the arrangement held, the terms stuck, and by mid-century the right had begun to be a catchall for a host of political groups, including conservatives, traditionalists, authoritarians, royalists, nationalists and papists. By the twentieth century the term would be stretched to include movements ranging from Fascism to Populism and would be used to describe the political position of political parties in the Middle East and Asia. Though primarily associated with European and parliamentary politics, increasingly the designation of the right has been applied to Evangelical and Judeo-Christian groups in the United States. 1 Credit.

Course cancelled. In-person Course. In 2001, “Freestyle”, a survey exhibition curated by Thelma Golden at the Studio Museum in Harlem, introduced a young generation of artists of African descent and the ambitious yet knowingly opaque term post-black to a pre-9-11 pre-Obama world. Post-black stirred much controversy 24 years ago, because it was used for a generation of artists that seemed to distance themselves from previous generations, who utilized the term Black to define their practices as a form of political resistance. This seminar utilizes the term post-black as a starting point to investigate the different ways Black Artists identified themselves through the lens of their historical contexts, writings, and politics while engaging with key debates around Black Aesthetics in exhibitions and theory. Consequently, we will discuss changes in artistic styles and Black identity discourses from the beginning of the 20th century into the present. However, the claims that the post-black generation made, and the influence of their work, are part of an ongoing debate in African Diasporic Art, which has refreshed and posed new questions for art-historical research as well as curation. 1 Credit. Session A: May 25 – June 26. Tuition: $5480.
