CSI: Myth vs. Fact (41783)

Presented by:   Lynne Dean

Join presenter Lynne Dean, a forensic scientist and retired latent fingerprint examiner with the King County Sheriff’s Office in Seattle, Washington, as she explores how crime scenes are processed for evidence. You will learn how a forensic fingerprint laboratory works, discuss photographs from real crime scenes, and determine what YOU see as evidence. You’ll also participate in hands-on exercises at home to give you a true “feel” for working with evidence and discover how to distinguish fact from fiction when it comes to your favorite CSI-style TV shows. Student participation is encouraged! This class is for students 18 and older, as some of the content and photos are considered graphic. In addition, participants will need a roll of clear tape (like Scotch tape) and their choice of one of the following: a clear plastic water bottle, ceramic mug (like a coffee cup), or clear sheet protector. Those items will be part of the hands- on exercises they will do during the Zoom presentation.

Hip Hop Theory & Culture (41797)

Presented by:   Daudi Abe

Hip-hop culture, and rap music in particular, has emerged as the signature medium for transformative expression in the aftermath of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. Today hip-hop culture is firmly entrenched within the larger global community. Music, entertainment, fashion, politics, and education are just some of the areas that have become increasingly influenced by hip-hop culture.

This course strives to identify and critically examine the theoretical foundations of hip-hop culture and rap music. Through a rigorous interrogation of the evolution within this genre, students will develop a clear understanding of the conceptual fundamentals of hip-hop philosophy and the community from which it originated. Further consideration will be given to the implications that the background, music, style, and influence of the hip-hop generation have upon a multicultural nation and world.
