    Serves as an introduction to the "Frankfurt School" and Critical Theory with particular emphasis upon rationality, social psychology, cultural criticism, and aesthetics. Through close readings of key texts by members of the school (Horkheimer, Benjamin, Adorno, Habermas) we will work toward a critical understanding of the analytical tools they developed and consider their validity. Taught in English. GRMN 4051, 5051 and COML 5051 are the same course.

    Explores theories of the large-scale ocean, including quasigeostrophic, planetary geostrophic, and shallow water equations. Topics may vary to focus on ocean climate (e.g. thermocline, westward intensification), ocean waves (e.g. gravity, Rossby, and Kelvin), or ocean models (toy, analytic, and numerical). Maybe repeated up to 9 total credit hours. Prereqs., ATOC 5400 and ATOC 5051 or 5060 or equivalent. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

    Lectures in physical inorganic chemistry with an emphasis on topics for understanding modern solar energy conversion to electricity and fuels. Includes a description of bonding and properties of coordination compounds in terms of the ligand field and molecular orbital theories. The primary research literature will be used to motivate exploration of relevant themes including spectroscopy, electron transfer, energy transfer, bioenergetic conversion, and small-molecule activation. Prereqs., CHEM 4011 and graduate standing.

    Same as CLAS 4061 and HIST 5061. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

    Same as HIST 4061 and CLAS 5061.

    Intended for students with little to no art background. Focus is on the accurate rendering of scientific subjects for publication and for public display. Course begins with basic drawing skills and sharpening of visual perception. Students progress to be able to produce realistic renderings of subjects. Students are exposed to a variety of black and white and color techniques and the standards for presenting illustrations for a variety of audiences. Course concludes with computer illustration tools and techniques.

    Study of live performance forms, theory, and literature throughout Asia: performance history, production styles, and social functions of performance. Background in theatre, dance, or Asian studies recommended. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
    Investigates music in relation to dance performance, choreography, and teaching. Topics may include: a survey of musical styles and composers; direct experimentation with composition and recording techniques; enhancement of rhythmic versatility; work with accompanist/composers; and/or improvement of analytical listening and writing skills. Prereq., previous music courses or instructor consent. Prerequisites: Restricted to Dance (DNCE) graduate students only.
    Surveys the history of the Iberian Peninsula from the late medieval period through early modern period. Explores the thought, art, politics, and socio-economic milieu of Spain during the Golden Age. Topics include attitudes toward minorities, the Inquisition, the establishment of a colonial empire, rituals, court culture and architecture, religious conflicts, and literary production.
