<title>HUB XC 433 F1 The Intersection of Gender, Race, Media and Covid 19</title>

<description><![CDATA[COVID-19 has posed great challenges to society as a whole in facing the social, economic, and cultural effects of the virus and exposing inequalities in a number of spheres. Understanding the impact of the pandemic on gender/race/ethnicity, not just in the short term but in the future is key to designing effective and targeted responses to reconfigure the private and the public sphere.
The impact of COVID-19 on gender/race/ethnicity has immediate and visible consequences such as vulnerability in terms of job security, unequal work-life balance, gender-based violence, inadequate social protection policies (furlough, health insurance, sick leave), education and technological challenges.

The course will focus on Australia, the U.S. and Europe. The perspective adopted will be that of discussing Covidâ€¯& Genderâ€¯through a social-economic and a racial/ethnic prism.

An unprecedented event like COVID-19 demands a new kind of storytelling. Students focus on one country/area and discuss how the media represent the issue. They evaluate if there is a fair and equal representation of the problem and what are the most urgent needs to be taken into account.

The course is interdisciplinary and is meant to encourage diversity and inclusiveness among the studentsâ€™ teams. Full engagement in group work, discussion, collaboration, use of multiple strategies, recognition of other peopleâ€™s view and a creative approach are essential.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Zero Waste initiatives are some of the most important things we can do to reduce our environmental impact. As part of the Boston University Climate Action Plan, which will make the University carbon neutral by 2040, BU is committed to achieving Zero Waste by 2030. In this experiential, project-based course student groups will be directly impacting the BU Campus, by better understanding the problem, and by collaboratively creating solutions to help BU achieve this goal.

What is Zero Waste? From the Zero Waste International Alliance, here is the goal: â€œThe conservation of all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse, and recovery of products, packaging, and materials without burning and with no discharges to land, water, or air that threaten the environment or human health.â€]]></description>

<title>HUB XC 433 B1 Thinking through Puppets and Performing Objects</title>

<description><![CDATA[Puppetry and other forms of object performance are experiencing a renaissance in the US and across the globe. But what can they offer a research university, where not only creating but also communicating new knowledge to a range of audiences is increasingly important? These â€œanimated objectsâ€ have traditionally been used to convey narrative content; can they help research to become a compelling story that engages, informs, and even entertains an audienceâ€“by activating their intellect and affect? In this course, students from across BUâ€™s many colleges will explore how a broad range of puppetry techniques can help them to investigate and then communicate abstract theories, philosophies, and complex processes, injecting them with humor, suspense, and awe. Through visual storytelling, metaphors, materiality, and the handmade, participants will research the function and power of animate objects as tools of arts research. They will engage in analyzing ideas, making and performing, reflecting and giving feedback. The final products will be two puppet slams (a collection of short, experimental works), one based on the studentsâ€™ own research in small groups, and the other in collaboration with BU doctoral students, who are client partners for this project. Other stakeholders are the office of the Associate Provost for Graduate Affairs at BU and the Puppet Showplace Theater, which in hosting the second event is lending its brand along with providing its venue.]]></description>
