EARTHSYS 183: Adaptation (EBS 183)
Adaptation is the process by which organisms or societies become better suited to their environments. In this class, we will explore three distinct but related notions of adaptation. Biological adaptations arise through natural selection, while cultural adaptations arise from a variety of processes, some of which closely resemble natural selection. A newer notion of adaptation has emerged in the context of climate change where adaptation takes on a highly instrumental, and often planned, quality as a response to the negative impacts of environmental change. We will discuss each of these ideas, using their commonalities and subtle differences to develop a broader understanding of the dynamic interplay between people and their environments. Topics covered will include, among others: evolution, natural selection, levels of selection, formal models of cultural evolution, replicator dynamics, resilience, rationality and its limits, complexity, adaptive management.

MATSCI 183: Defects and Disorder in Materials
Overview of defects and disorder across crystalline, amorphous, and glassy phases that are central to function and application, spanning metals, ceramics, and soft/biological matter. Structure and properties of simple 0D/1D/2D defects in crystalline materials. Scaling laws, connectivity and frustration, and hierarchy/distributions of structure across length scales in more disordered materials. Key characterization techniquesnnPre-reqs:

MUSIC 183E: Singing for Musicals (TAPS 183E)
Do you love singing in musicals? Do you know how to sing in musicals? This course, taught by two instructors, provides training in vocal technique and acting for students interested in performing musical theater. Students will learn about the physical aspects of singing, including posture, breath support, and vocal exercises. They will integrate vocal technique with phrasing in different styles of Broadway repertoire and apply both to the art of acting the song. Each student will work on solo selections and ensembles, singing in most classes. The course will culminate in a final public workshop performance. Through understanding vocal technique, students will become more confident and joyful performers. Admission to the course is by audition or permission of the instructor. While prior vocal or theatrical study is not required for admission, many students accepted for the course have had some previous training. The instructors will contact all waitlisted students with detailed information about video or live auditions and a questionnaire prior to the first class.

PUBLPOL 183: Human and Planetary Health (MED 103, SOC 103, SUSTAIN 103)
For too long, societies have treated nature as an inexhaustible resource. As a result, humanity faces a health crisis of planetary dimensions. Unsustainable food systems, global warming, biodiversity loss, pollution, and changing disease ecology are impacting both human lives and the natural systems that support them. Those least responsible for these crises are hit worst and first. The field of human and planetary health seeks solutions that sustain nature while supporting human health. This course highlights the complex interconnections between environment and health and demonstrates how an interdisciplinary, multisectoral approach and systems thinking can help us to find a path forward. Through lectures, discussions, and interactive exercises, students will learn and write about large-scale problems, priority areas of action, and levers for impact. All students will join a weekly section and work through a multi-part assignment to produce a policy brief addressing a human and planetary health challenge. The course is appropriate for students at all levels and from all disciplines.
