60-446: Advanced SIS Special Topic
The movement of resources, labor, and information shapes where and how we live. Understanding culture and its ties to mobility in the US and beyond will act as a catalyst for students to depict and describe their explorations, wanderings, odysseys, and travels. We will create and explore objects which enable and are inspire by mobility in its many manifestations including walking, biking, touring, wandering, foraging, drifting, laboring, searching, escaping, and being lost. We will investigate various modes of locomotion embedded in our environments and social interactions, studying what we affect and submit to as we pass through terrain.Our class will incorporate fieldwork to off campus sites where we will explore and experience the role discrete facilities and uncertain landscapes play in our understanding of mobility within and beyond our lifetimes. Guest lectures throughout the semester will both visit the class and be present in off campus excursions.
