This course explores the interconnections between pop and rock music, musical techniques, current events, and social identity from the 1950s through the early 1970s. These questions are approached primarily by way of annotated source readings from the years under question, chosen with the goal of helping readers relive the controversies and conflicts that accompanied significant events in the history of popular music.
David Brodbeck is a Professor in the Claire Trevor School of the Arts.
The issue of sex differences in brain function is rapidly growing in neuroscience. This seminar allows students to simultaneously begin to acquire a sophisticated understanding of this enormously important topic, and learn how to effectively evaluate research papers. Lectures by Professor Cahill on the topic begin and end the course, and are designed to better prepare students when they inevitably encounter this topic in future work.
Lawrence Cahill is a Professor in the School of Biological Sciences.
The Universe’s Hidden Dimensions
What is the true nature of space-time? What are the fundamental building blocks of matter and what hold these constituents together? Revolutionary landmark developments in modern physics have changed the way we answer these questions. We will take a journey through some of these remarkable ideas, from Quantum Mechanics and Einstein’s Relativity to speculative ideas such as extra dimensions. Through the journey, we will get a glimpse of how particle physicists work to discover the laws of Nature.
Mu-Chun Chen is a Professor in the School of Physical Sciences.
Succeeding in Biomedical Sciences/Healthcare for First Generation and/or Minority Students
The practice of medicine and biomedical research, supported by Federal and State funding to improve the health of all our citizens, is supposed to be fact-based and color blind. But in practice, how is biomedical research actually conducted? Are women and minorities treated equally? Do they receive equal pay for equal work? While exploring these issues, we will also discuss strategies for how first generation and underrepresented students can be successful in biomedical research on campus.
Brian Cummings is a Professor in the School of Medicine.

The Origin of Modern Philosophy: René Descartes’s *Meditations on First Philosophy*
René Descartes (1596-1650) is called “the father of modern philosophy”. His *Meditations on First Philosophy*, the work in which he fathered modern philosophy, continues to draw attention from readers today. Through a reading of the entire text of the *Meditations*, including the Objections and Replies to the *Meditations* solicited from eminent readers, we will try to unearth Descartes’s views on, among other topics, the nature of knowledge, the nature of the mind, and the existence of God.

Classical forms share distinctive footwork and abhinaya, i.e. gesture language to tell stories and express emotions. Contemporary style is multi-layered, with classical and modern dance, ballet and multi-media. Bollywood movies’ dance styles include free dance expression with striking costumes and music. We read articles, view visuals of classical, contemporary, and Bollywood dance styles.

Human Neuroimaging – How can we Scan your Brain and its Function
Neuroimaging, and in particular MRI, has opened up a new window into understanding how the human brain functions and how it changes as we develop, age, and undergo neurological diseases and disorders. This hands-on lab course will cover how MRI works, what different kinds of MRI scans can show us, how MRI data are collected, and how they are analyzed.
