Sacred to three religions, the contested future capital of two nations, a place of longing for millions, Jerusalem is one of the world's great cities. This course looks at the history, geography, and religious significance of the Holy City, while also considering its place as a city of the imagination. In investigating the city's place in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, its historic importance for Muslim and European imperialists, its long status as a tourist and pilgrimage destination, and its significance in Israeli and Palestinian nationalism, the course asks whether the myriad understandings of the city can co-exist or is Jerusalem destined to always be "a golden bowl filled with scorpions."
Collecting, naming, and organizing local knowledge(s) were important activities to scientific practitioners in the past. This course takes a close look at natural history collecting and its entanglements with colonizing projects, policies and enterprises since c. 1500. Using special collections materials, deliberative pedagogical approaches and engagement with regional natural history collections, it considers the legacies of historical links between collecting, appropriation, displacement and more. The course will also introduce students to ongoing efforts to respond to these legacies by the curators of scientific collections and scholars today.
As an interdisciplinary study, this course investigates how the medieval world made sense of itself. It explores material from across the Middle Ages, including literature, art, architecture, and theology, and considers how different literacies (or modes of interpretation and understanding), developed during this time period. Focusing on several different areas of the medieval experience will help participants to gain insights into larger questions that stretch out from the medieval period to today.
Imitation, quotation and appropriation are fundamental creative strategies—in the visual arts, writing, music, and filmmaking. Imitation is how you learn your craft, quotation how you demonstrate expertise, and appropriation a strategy, often with political and legal implications. Forms of expression generated in one context and culture are translated and appropriated for new audiences and purposes. This course examines a diverse range of key monuments, texts, and practices, including the theorization of art in the Italian Renaissance, twentieth-century feminist retellings of "classic" tales, and the international exchange of plots and the formal language of storytelling between the Hollywood Western and Japanese samurai films. The course considers the pleasures and parameters of genre, the conception of intellectual property, and the politics of appropriation.

This course focuses on creating an original musical score for a video game developed collaboratively with courses in computer programming and creative writing. Students develop skills in generative and modular synthesis, an approach to music-making in which interconnected modules control parameters such as rhythm, pitch, timbre, and tempo in real time. Using these techniques, students design musical environments that accompany narrative episodes and gameplay scenarios. The course also examines the history and aesthetics of video game music to inform creative decisions. The result is a collaborative, adaptive score integrated into an original game.
