This graduate seminar considers scholarship and primary sources that engage with transnational cultural history in the decades since World War II. How have scholars made sense of the transnational flow of cultural commodities, and related questions about politics, production, consumption, reception, and desires? How can a transnational approach to culture shape (or reshape) scholarly understandings of US history, domestic activism, migration, and more? How can a cultural approach to transnational history shape (or reshape) scholarly understandings of diplomatic and political history, space and place, encounters, and power dynamics that are not anchored in a specific nation state? And how can a transnational focus inform how we analyze primary sources—from written texts to film, photographs, and music?

Important note: For students who have taken an earlier version of this (or related) courses, the readings for this summer course will be different. If you are interested in these themes and would like to pursue them further, you are welcome to take this class.

Course description coming soon.

Hip-Hop is one of the few cultures that can simultaneously promote wasteful consumerism, misogyny, homophobia, and violence, while also developing multi-ethnic, multi-linguistic, multi-faith, and multi-class alliances. This course will chart the birth and maturity of Hip-Hop culture, considering its impact on contemporary national dialogues about race, gender, sexuality, class, politics, and religion. The course content will trace the historical origins of Hip-Hop from the mid-1960s into the present, drawing on a host of written, audio, and visual sources.

An opportunity for students to integrate the knowledge and skills gained in previous computer science work into an individual research project. Involves investigation of current literature as well as computer implementation of either a part of a large program or the whole of a small system. Topic should be consonant with the emphasis of direction chosen by the students in their computer science studies. Before registering for this course, students must find a faculty member who agrees to act as their adviser, and students must have a written project proposal approved by their faculty adviser. The proposal must be submitted and approved in the prior semester, usually the third week of November or April. 

Writing intensive. Prerequisites: 21:198:490 and senior standing. 

Basic media and techniques with emphasis placed on conceptual and analytical thinking; projects include using the concept of transformation to develop solutions derived from real-life information; the purpose and history of illustration.
