Section Title:
James Bond & Soc. Change
Section Info:
The Cinematic James Bond and Social Change. What does the cinematic James Bond tell us about culture and society? Through 24 canonical movies over 50 years, the cinematic James Bond has reflected and inspired significant cultural and social change. Through readings, including Ian Fleming's original novel, and selective viewing of Bond movies this class will explore how social change is evident in Bond from changing perspectives on sexuality and sex roles, the representation of minorities, to massive geopolitical shifts, the shifting understandings of, primarily British, nationhood, to the pervasive cultural impact of the James Bond brand.

Section Title:
Innovation Illinois
Section Info:
Why did the first US supercomputing research center and the world’s first web browser emerge at the University of Illinois? What did the campus have to do with the emergence of electronic music in the 1950s, cybernetics history in the 1960s, the development of the internet and online video games in the 1970s? How has the campus been a leader in accessible design throughout the 20th Century - starting with the development of the first Disabilities Resources and Educational Services (DRES) office and accessible athletics? And who were the diverse women and men who were involved with such innovations? This course provides an overview of the histories of interdisciplinary innovation cultures that emerged on the Urbana-Champaign campus. It explores how the history of regional and local innovations at Illinois helps us understand contemporary innovation practices and ventures, from the growth of new design centers across US campuses to contemporary practices in accessibility design.
