CCS Mathematics Student Seminar

62794

In this seminar, each week, a CCS math student will present on their research or another mathematical
topic of interest to them for the duration of the class period. This is both an opportunity to give a longer
and more in-depth mathematical talk than undergraduates typically get to give at RACA-CON or other
conferences and an opportunity to learn about your fellow students’ research.
Students get 1 unit for simply attending and giving feedback to speakers and 2 units for presenting.
Fill out this form to sign up to present: https://forms.gle/2VqxWxLzhjrBF2r99
If more people sign up to present than time allows, priority will be given to graduating seniors.

Storytelling Through Music

62802

No one can lie, music is entertaining. It can be more than just entertainment. For
centuries, music has been a tool for carrying myths, folktales, and stories, nowadays
music typically takes a supporting role in carrying narratives. But in many ways,
stories are at the heart of music. From energetic pop songs to dramatic sweeping
movie scores, an array of stories are waiting to be uncovered. Students will study
how composers of various mediums achieve narrative through the use of music
without or in conjunction with other storytelling forms.

W&L CS 5

Translingual Poetics

62810

The concept of translingualism encompasses both writing in more than one language and writing
in one’s second language. This course will explore literary translingualism in theory and practice,
unsettling entrenched conventions of how to approach language. Through critical discussions of
fiction and poetry and short writing exercises, we will engage with the radical potential of
translingual poetics.
