Themes covered include race and representation; white supremacy in early film; the classical Hollywood studio system versus independent cinema; genre, gender and sexuality; migration and disaster.

XMBA 290P - LEC 001 Applied Innovation more detail
We are in the midst of a digital transformation that is changing how industries work and how we will live and work. Responding to this massive change requires that we learn approaches to framing and solving problems different from the analytical approaches most of us have learned and practiced in our careers. Enter design thinking. Designers have long practiced immersion in ambiguous situations, imagining and conceptualizing alternative futures, and learning through experimentation and failure. This course teaches students new ways of collecting data to characterize a problem space, enabling them to frame and reframe problems, generate a range of possible solutions, and then gather feedback to assess those solutions.

A science-based course on the most significant eruptions Earth has produced. Most eruptions discussed will be from within historic time and will involve information from geology (volcanology), geography, archaeology, history, art, and paleoenvironmental records such as tree-rings and ice-cores. After a two-class introduction to volcanoes, volcanic activity, and volcanology, and the hazards vs benefits of eruptions, each class will feature one of more eruptions of different types from around the world. A science-based interpretation of the eruptions and effects on human-kind and the environment, will be presented. Class participants will learn about one type of natural hazard, its causes, and the variability of volcanism on Earth.
