10738 A 5 MW 220-430 THO 101 SCHENOLD,TERRENCE E Open 28/ 40 Full-term THE PROBLEM OF IMAGINATION: AESTHETIC EDUCATION IN THE 21ST CENTURY (VLPA) IN THE OFT-REFERENCED YET RARELY READ 9-11 COMMISSION REPORT, WE FIND A STARTLING CONCLUSION IN THE RESULTS PRESENTED BY THE COMMITTEE TASKED WITH CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE GOVERNMENT IN THE LEAD-UP TO THE CATASTROPHE: NAMELY, THAT THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP WAS A FAILURE OF IMAGINATION. THE IDEA THAT AN INDIVIDUAL, A COLLECTIVITY, OR AN ENTIRE CULTURE COULD SUFFER A FAILURE OF IMAGINATION, VARIOUSLY INTERPRETED, SUFFUSES MANY OF OUR PROBLEMS TODAY, FROM OUR DIFFICULTIES WITH REIMAGINING ALL SORTS OF INSTITUTIONS AND IMPORTANT CONCEPTS, TO OUR INABILITY TO SEE THAT WHICH DOES NOT SHOW UP ON BALANCE SHEETS OR BODY SCANS. |

10740 B 5 MTWTh 220-430 CMU 228 Simpson,Caroline Chung Open 6/ 20 W A-term READING AND WRITING WIDELY (VLPA) THIS IS A READING AND WRITING COURSE. MORE SPECIFICALLY, THIS IS A COURSE IN WHICH WE WILL FOCUS ON WRITING FOR A WIDE AUDIENCE ABOUT VERY COMPLICATED SOCIAL ISSUES. IN THE PAST CENTURY, WRITING ABOUT MANY OF THESE ISSUES WAS USUALLY RESERVED FOR THE SPECIALIST: SCHOLARS, POLITICAL PUNDITS OR COMMENTATORS, SOCIAL SCIENTISTS. BUT IN THE AGE OF THE INTERNET, EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO WEIGH IN. WE WILL READ AND DISCUSS A HOST OF CONTEMPORARY WRITERS WHO ARE WRITING ESSAYS DEVOTED TO DISCUSSION OF SOME OF THE MOST PRESSING OF SOCIAL ISSUES. |

10744 B 5 TWThF 110-320 SAV 157 Lopez Vergara,Sebastian O Open 9/ 10 WJ B-term THE WIRE AS THEORY: SOCIAL SCIENCE FICTION (VLPA) THE WIRE HAS BEEN WIDELY HERALDED BY CRITICS AS ONE OF THE BEST TELEVISION PROGRAMS EVER MADE. IT HAS ALSO GAINED MUCH ATTENTION AND PRAISE FROM SCHOLARS ACROSS THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES FOR ITS CRITIQUE OF INEQUALITY, THE WAR ON DRUGS, AND THE POLITICS OF RACE, GENDER AND SEXUALITY. THIS SEMINAR SUGGESTS THAT THE POPULARITY OF THE WIRE IS RELATED TO THE THEORETICAL WORK THAT THE PROGRAM PERFORMS. YET, AS ALL WORKS OF THEORY, THE WIRE ALSO HAS LIMITATIONS. VIEWING THE WIRE SERIOUSLY AND CRITICALLY AS A WORK OF THEORY, THIS SEMINAR EXPLORES WHAT THEORY IS AND WHAT ITS FUNCTION CAN AND SHOULD BE IN THE WORLD. |
