\nMW 11:00 AM 12:15 PM
\nProfessor Nelson
\nAn integration of communication competencies into research-informed learning, building on the skills developed in SWS 105. Little more than a century since the word \u201cgene\u201d was coined to describe the basic unit of genetic inheritance, techniques such as CRISPR raise the possibility of reshaping the genomes of a wide range of organisms with unprecedented ease and precision. What about these technologies worries scientists and\/or members of the general public? What cautionary tales does history reveal? Who should make decisions about the funding, implementation, and regulation of biotechnology? Drawing on scholarly books, essays, and articles, as well as documentary film and media resources, students will explore the scientific, historical, and ethical dimensions of emerging genetic technologies, culminating in an in-depth research project focused on a biotechnology of their choice. Students will develop an early understanding of the role of writing, speaking, reading, and listening in the interpretation and production of research-informed texts.<\/span><\/p>\n

SWS 205 07, Quality<\/strong>
\nTTH 11:00 AM 12:15 PM
\nProfessor Kapfhammer
\nAn exploration of research-informed communication (reading, writing, speaking, and listening). You judge quality every day — in the food you eat, the friendships you build, and the technologies you trust — yet trying to explain what makes something truly good causes the answer to slip away. Students chase this elusive idea across disciplines, from philosophy to economics, and investigate whether emerging software tools improve or diminish the quality of writing and research. Through hands-on experiments, students define quality in a real-world context, measure it, and test strategies to improve it. Students engage with ideas by reading and listening to academic sources and build on those ideas by producing thesis-driven written and spoken texts.<\/span><\/p>\n

SWS 205 08, The Poetics of Power<\/strong>
\nTTH 11:00 AM 12:15 PM
\nProfessor Allums
\nAn integration of communication competencies into research-informed learning, building on the skills developed in SWS 105. When we think of poetry, we might tend to imagine attractive, rhyming verses ruminating on such conventional topics as love, beauty, or nature. But poetry is also an active, political force capable of remaking worlds. Reading widely across the humanities and social sciences, students consider the role of language (including its form, its content, and its expression) in both exercising and resisting power. Students examine poetic interventions from across geographic and historical contexts, thinking critically about their various political functions. Students will develop an early understanding of the role of writing, speaking, reading, and listening in the interpretation and production of research-informed texts<\/span><\/p>\n

\nMW 11:00 AM 12:15 PM
\nProfessor Devries
\nThis course provides an integration of communication competencies into research-informed learning, building on the skills developed in SWS 105. Consumption is a core part of everyday life. What we consume, how we consume, whether we consume, or if we will be consumed are questions that haunt media and cultural narratives, social development, and economics. Questions of consumption also determine the flourishing or exploitation of global societies. Students will develop evidence-based speculations about the ways we consume, and will produce a research paper and poster proposing ideas for how we might make processes of consumption\u2014whether of food, products, labor, or media\u2014healthier and more equitable. Students will also develop an understanding of the role of writing, speaking, reading and listening in the interpretation and production of research-informed texts.<\/span><\/p>\n
