Parents' College Course Descriptions November 2, 2007
Department	Class No.	Name of Course
Anthropology	070.222	Africa in the 21st Century Dr. Jane Guyer The present and the future of Africa are often projected in apocalyptic terms. We attempt here to understand the ordinary realities of life family, making a living, community, congregation, governance and inequality - with special attention to works by African scholars, public figures, writhers and artists.
Computer Science	599.424	Network Security: Do you know who's using your computer? Dr. Avi Rubin This course focuses on communication security in computer systems and networks. The course is intended to provide students with an introduction to the field of network security. The course covers network security services such as authentication and access control, integrity and confidentiality of data, firewalls and related technologies, web security, anonymity, and privacy. Course work involves implementing various security techniques.
History	99.219	The Chinese Cultural Revolution Dr. Tobie Meyer-Fong This introductory class will explore the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976); Mao's last attempt to transform China, and a period marked by social upheaval, personal vendettas, violence, massive youth movements, and ideological pressure.
History of Art	9.300	Art in the Age of Augustus Dr. Michael Koortbojian Augustus, the first of the Roman Emperors, is said to have "found Rome a city of brick, and left it a city of marble." The architectural embellishment of the capital was merely one aspect of a thorough-going remaking of the Roman state - politically, institutionally, but also, artistically. This course will examine the visible manifestations of this new image of Rome, in all their variety, in all artistic media (architecture, painting, and sculpture). Moreover, the course will endeavor to sketch the significance of this fundamentally new use of imagery as it served to visualize both the mythic claims that lay at the heart of Augustus' rule, and the vivid reality of his unprecedented powers.
History of Science and Technology	139.215	Monuments and Memory Dr. Stuart W. Leslie Why do some places, whether manmade or natural, capture and hold our imaginations? Why, and how, do we commemorate particular sites? This course will explore the construction or discovery, and the enduring significance of selected monuments in the West, beginning with the Great Pyramid and ending with the World Trade Center. We will consider national memorials (the United States Marine Memorial and the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial), national parks (Yosemite and Yellowstone), and other milestones (the Parthenon, St. Peter's the Eiffel Tower, the Golden Gate Bridge) by which the West has measured itself. We will study how they were made, interpreted and represented in art, literature, popular culture, and tourism.
Materials Science and Engineering	509.107	Modern Alchemy Dr. James Spicer Can you really turn lead into gold? Converting common substances into useful materials that play important roles in today's technologies is the goal of many modern scientists and engineers. In this course, we will survey selected topics related to modern materials, the processes that are used to make them as well as the inspiration that led to their development. Topics will include the saga of electronic paper, the sticky stuff of gecko feet and the stretchy truth about metal rubber.
Physics and Astronomy	170.102	General Physics Dr. Bruce Barnett This course in general physics covers mechanics, heat, sound, electricity and magnetism, optics, and atomic physics.
Political Science	189.333	American Constitutional Law Dr. Joel Grossman An exploration of the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution and the Court's role in the American political system. The course focuses on how the court makes its decisions: on its development and articulation of fundamental principles such as judicial review, federalism, and the separation of powers; and on the powers of Congress and the president.
Political Science	190.329	National Security in the Nuclear Age Dr. Steven David An examination and analysis of the impact of nuclear weapons on international politics. Emphasis is on nuclear weapons systems, nuclear doctrines of war fighting, defense and deterrence, the strategic balance, proliferation, medium nuclear powers, and the theory and practice of arms control. The role of nuclear weapons in traditional concepts of the use of force will be considered.
Psychological and Brain Sciences	199.214	Brain Myths and Folk Psychology Dr. Amy Shelton This course examines popular "facts" about the brain and cognition, exploring the origins, how they are perpetuated in the media, and the empirical data that support or refute the claims.
Public Health Studies	279.101	Introduction to Public Health Dr. Miriam Alexander The field of Public Health spans a broad range of disciplines and professions. The objectives of this course include familiarizing students with the U.S. public health model; providing a working knowledge of the tools and methods used in public health practice and research; increasing awareness of social and cultural factors embedded in current public health issues; and exposing students to the range of fields and occupations that fall within public health.
Writing Seminars	220.331	The Forms of Fiction Prof. Tristan Davies This course will examine the formative genres of prose fiction. Students will read examples of romance, confession, anatomy, and novel and respond with imaginative works that demonstrate an understanding of the generative forms.
