BIO 199A: The Independent Capstone in Biology
Seniors in Biology may undertake an independent capstone project through the Independent Capstone in Biology course series,
BIO 199 A, B, C. Such projects might involve creative works, research or business internships, travel-based study, teaching, or community service. Examples include the production of a teaching or business plan, a film or podcast, or a public education campaign. The Independent Capstone in Biology is best suited for those students who wish to complete their projects independently, without close peer support and collaboration, while continuing to benefit from project mentorship. Satisfies WIM in Biology.

BIOS 220: Fantastical Pathogenesis: Real-world pathogenesis in fictional media
This mini-course will explore fictional representations of pathogenesis. Students will learn about viruses, parasites, bacteria, fungi, and prions, including specific pathogen lifecycles, methods of transmission, and disease states. Students will view examples of pathogenesis in films, stories, and other media examples, and will discuss the representations of real infectious diseases. Classes will consist of film and media viewings and discussions. Additional materials may be distributed to students as appropriate. No prerequisites are required for this course, but students should note that some films and media feature horror themes and may include some scenes that some may find disturbing.

CEE 32B: Design Theory
This seminar focuses on the key themes, histories, and methods of architectural theory -- a form of architectural practice that establishes the aims and philosophies of architecture. Architectural theory is primarily written, but it also incorporates drawing, photography, film, and other media. One of the distinctive features of modern and contemporary architecture is its pronounced use of theory to articulate its aims. One might argue that modern architecture is modern because of its incorporation of theory. This course focuses on those early-modern, modern, and late-modern writings that have been and remain entangled with contemporary architectural thought and design practice. Rather than examine the development of modern architectural theory chronologically, it is explored architectural through thematic topics. These themes enable the student to understand how certain architectural theoretical concepts endure, are transformed, and can be furthered through his/her own explorations.
CEE 32B is a crosslisting of
ARTHIST 217B/417B.

CHILATST 106: From Disney to Telenovelas: Latin America in Popular Film and TV (ILAC 106)
Popular film and media have represented Latin America in various ways, including as a geographical region, a homogeneous culture, and a form of racialization. In this course, we will investigate these representations to understand how Latin America, its people, and its diaspora imagine themselves and how others have conceptualized the region. We will pay particular attention to the myths and stereotypes that cinema and television have sustained as well as Latin America's history of colonization to examine the prevalence of anti-blackness, anti-indigeneity, and other forms of erasure and social exclusion. Sources include Disney's Saludos Amigos and Encanto, Pixar's Coco, and the telenovela Yo soy Betty la fea, among others. Taught in English. Students are welcome to complete work in Spanish.

CHILATST 140: Migration in 21st Century Latin American Film (ILAC 140)
Focus on how images and narratives of migration are depicted in recent Latin American film. It compares migration as it takes place within Latin America to migration from Latin America to Europe and to the U.S. We will analyze these films, and their making, in the global context of an ever-growing tension between "inside" and "outside"; we consider how these films represent or explore precariousness and exclusion; visibility and invisibility; racial and gender dynamics; national and social boundaries; new subjectivities and cultural practices. Films include: Bolivia, Copacabana, La teta asustada, Norteado, Sin nombre, Migraci¿n, Ulises, among others. Films in Spanish, with English subtitles. Discussions and assignments in Spanish.
