This practicum course provides advanced ASL students with the opportunity to refine their signing skills and deepen their knowledge of Deaf culture through community engagement. Students will participate in supervised projects (e.g., tutoring Deaf children, volunteering interpreting). Students will meet weekly for 80 minutes for group debriefs and language enrichment activities. The other 80 minutes each week will be reserved for practicum. This course aims to help students better understand how they can be allies of the Deaf community and apply their signing skills in future careers.

This course examines how Deaf culture and American Sign Language (ASL) shape theater through visual storytelling, physical expression, and vaudeville traditions. Students study ASL children's plays, international visual theater, and one-act plays while engaging with guest Deaf artists. Since students in Princeton's ASL program are still developing fluency, the course helps hone expressive and receptive signing skills through rehearsal, performance, and devising. The semester culminates in the Visual Vaudeville Project, an ensemble showcase highlighting the dynamic interplay of language, culture, and performance.

This advanced research seminar examines the contemporary Landback! movement, first tracing the historical and legal genealogies of settler colonial land dispossession, Indigenous land title, and self-governance issues bounded to territory (recognized and otherwise). The second half then features case studies focused on the assertion of collective land rights, treaty rights, as well as the politics and processes of land claims, land recovery, land return, and land reclamation.

The increasing demand for AI, genomics, real-time data analytics, and other emerging applications has made parallel computing indispensable-from multi-core CPUs/GPUs in local environments to cloud infrastructures and the largest supercomputers.This course aims to develop a fundamental understanding of the principles of parallelism and design trade-offs in modern computing systems, covering hardware architecture, software efficiency, and algorithm optimization. Students will acquire practical parallel programming techniques (including GPU programming) and explore key performance metrics beyond speed, such as scalability and energy efficiency.

An introductory multidisciplinary course for undergraduate and first-year graduate engineering students, covering fundamental principles, applications, and new advances in biosensing and diagnostics. Topics include biomarkers (small molecules, proteins, nucleic-acids, and cells), detection methods (electrochemical assay, colorimetric assay, immunoassay, nucleic acid hybridization assay, PCR, pure physical detection), signal generation, assay enhancement, assay characterization/validation, molecular binding theory, small molecule detection (hapten), competitive assays, self-flow assays, diagnostics, FDA 510(k), microfluidics, microarrays, etc.

From a relatively poor, multi-religious, and politically-fragmented land during the Middle Ages, Spain became in the early modern period one of the biggest empires in world history. This introductory course offers a historical overview of the Spanish empire, from its emergence in the late fifteenth century to its eventual dissolution in the nineteenth century. We will examine the nature of Spanish imperial rule, the societies and cultures that were forged in the process, and the asymmetric connections that it facilitated between Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

This course examines the deep histories behind contemporary issues in Indigenous North America. In this class we will dive into the past to uncover the policies, laws, experiences of Native peoples that have shaped our contemporary moment. Each week we'll focus on a specific recent headline case in native America. Throughout this course students will be asked to think about the coverage of Indigenous issues, and to focus on what gets left out of these stories. Over the course of the class, students will select their own topics to research and work on these investigative stories throughout the course.

In an age of science, reason, and empiricism, how do we understand thriving beliefs in the supernatural and the occult? What is the history of the relationship between the supernatural, structures of power, and acts of transgression? To explore this terrain in the past and at present, we will draw upon theoretical works, histories, and anthropological studies focusing on supernatural actors--witches, vampires, jinns, and yoginis--from around the world. We will turn attention to the emotional states and regimes of power generated by encounters with supernature--fear, wonder, and reverence--in early modern and modern lifeworlds and cultures.
