Doctoral students in this course will engage in a collective, semester-long project involving the analysis of a qualitative data set. The emphasis is not only to gain in-depth knowledge of an important research methodology, but to provide a more in-depth initiation to working with qualitative data, modifying research designs and research goals, and documenting the research project. This course complements the work done in Qualitative Research in Mathematics Education I, which primarily emphasizes the design of mathematics education qualitative research.

• Department: Teaching and Learning

The course is oriented to the unique aspects of doing research in mathematics education.

• Department: Administration, Leadership, and Technology

This course examines the political movement of queer and transgender artists and programmers who are creating games and computational media. Throughout the semester, we will read work by queer, trans, and feminist scholars and game designers and play the games they designed in order to situate today’s queer and trans games movement within the histories, contributions, and politics of queer and trans people and people of color. How might we re-imagine the radical potentiality of video games by centering game studies on queer and trans life, history and
experience?

Throughout the semester, we read work by queer, trans, and feminist scholars and designers and play the games they created in order to situate today’s queer and trans games movement within the histories, contributions, and politics of queer and trans people and people of color. How might we re-imagine the radical potentiality of video games and software by centering game studies on queer and trans life, history, and politics?

• Department: Media, Culture, and Communication

This course approaches media from queer, trans, and intersectional lenses to examine how LGBTQIA+ identities, cultures, and relations of power are shaped through media, technology, and communication. Students are introduced to foundational and emerging texts at the intersection of media studies and queer and trans studies, equipping them to understand the impact of media and communication on queer and trans histories, lives, and futures.

• Department: Media, Culture, and Communication

This course examines queer and transgender cultures through a range of visual forms. Students explore how sexuality and gender have been represented, contested, and imagined across a range of media, including film, television, photography, games, and digital and online practices, in American and transnational contexts. Through readings, screenings, and analysis, the course investigates how media shape understandings of identity, community, desire, and power, while attending to the historical and cultural conditions under which queer and trans lives become visible.

• Department: Media, Culture, and Communication

This course explores queer and transgender identity through the lens of film and
visual media. Through readings, films, and assignments, students investigate key historical moments of queer representation across a range of aesthetic genres, including Hollywood films, television, documentary, and New Queer Cinema, with emphasis on the American cultural context. Using key tools and insights from queer theory, we “read” these works as cultural texts that shed light on the ongoing struggle over gender representation, identity, and appropriate sexual behaviors.

• Department: Media, Culture, and Communication

This course shines a bright light on racial inequality in the United States by focusing on structural disparities in key areas of American life: Income, wealth and employment; the right to vote, health and wellbeing, education and juvenile justice.

They share their expertise in designing and implementing policy solutions that offer the promise of a more equitable future.

• Department: Applied Psychology

Liberalism’s founding principles of equality and opportunity have long been the subject of debate, national angst, and conflict. No more is this the case than when we talk about the issue of race. While biological notions of race have lost their scientific validity, race remains a salient issue as a social and political reality sustained through a wide variety of media forms. We examine how notions of race have been defined and shaped in and through these mediated forms, with special emphasis on the ways race is articulated in mass media and popular culture.

• Department: Media, Culture, and Communication

Through a range of texts drawn from the social sciences and humanities, students examine the processes of the social construction of race and inequality reproduction, engage historical ideas of race and racism, and consider future recalibrations of the forms of race and racism.

• Department: Applied Statistics, Social Science, and Humanities

This course focuses on the ways that media have shaped public discourse about race and racism both within and beyond the confines of the United States.
