AMST 214 Fame, Media, and Indigeneity 6 credits
This course examines fame and media in contemporary culture through Indigenous frameworks. Foregrounding relational and place-based understandings of fame and status, the course invites participants to reconsider what it means to be seen, remembered, or known. Students will read foundational texts in fame and (new) media studies alongside critical Indigenous scholarship and stories from oral traditions. Drawing on these readings, students will analyze and challenge dominant American narratives of fame, status, and media culture and develop alternative frameworks for understanding visibility, gaze, attention, public memory, and (im)mortality, especially in the digital age.

ARTS 339 Advanced Photography 6 credits
In this course students explore photography as a means of understanding and interacting with both the world and the inner self. We will emphasize a balance of technical skills, exploration of personal vision, and development of critical thinking and vocabulary relating to photography. Advanced students will focus on developing a concise body of work independently through two self-directed longer projects. Instruction includes: use of large format cameras with a hand meter, film scanning, and strobe lighting. Students will learn to develop a portfolio as an ongoing process that requires informed and critical decision making to assemble a body of work. Collectively we will critique, analyze, give feedback on work and discuss readings that are pertinent to the production of images in contemporary times.

CS 100 Ethics of Technology 6 credits
What should technology know about us? What actions should technology be allowed to conduct on our behalf? Who makes these decisions, and whose voices are excluded from these conversations? Can algorithms ever be truly fair, just, and unbiased, or are they forever doomed to perpetuate existing inequities? We'll address these questions, and many more, as we explore the history, present, and possible futures of the design, implementation, deployment, and usage of algorithms, apps, systems, devices, and all things tech. This course will equip you to perform the complex ethical reasoning required of living in a technically-focused society.

CS 314* Data Visualization (*=Junior Seminar) 6 credits
Though the wealth of data surrounding us can be overwhelming, we have evolved incredible tools for finding patterns in large amounts of information: our eyes! Data visualization is concerned with turning information into pictures to better communicate patterns or discover new insights, drawing from computer graphics, human-computer interaction, design, and perceptual psychology. In this junior seminar, we will learn different ways in which data can be expressed visually and which methods work best for which tasks, with a particular focus on technical communication. Using this knowledge, we will critique existing visualizations as well as design and build new ones.

PHIL 112 Intelligence, Agency and Autonomous Machines 6 credits
What exactly is artificial intelligence (AI)? We will engage this question by reading foundational texts in the philosophy of AI to clarify what things in the world are, or should be, classified as “AI”. This foundation will help us think about what it might mean to be autonomous, intelligent, or agential. We will consider some of the conditions that might lead us to believe certain technologies are (or could be) moral agents or moral patients, and whether (or to what extent) these conditions bear on the AI systems of the present and those of the future.
