  • The Musical Mind: How Music Shapes Our Brain, Culture, and Life

  • Humans are inherently musical, so it is no surprise that musical experiences can significantly impact individuals. This seminar will explore how music affects humans socially, developmentally, cognitively, and culturally. We will investigate how our brains respond to music, how musical content can trick our brains into hearing things that are not present, how music can shape us as individuals from birth to death, and how cultural exposure affects our preference and understanding of musical information. Whether you enjoy music as a classically-trained musician, a pop-music fanatic, or a casual listener, you are likely never to consume music in the same way again.

  • Free Trade: Engine of Growth or Destroyer of Economies?

  • Because of international trade, the U. S. has been able to access the world’s talent, resources, and products. Recently, however, a growing bipartisan consensus holds that trade has hollowed out our manufacturing sector, crushed jobs, destroyed communities, and deepened inequality. This consensus favors protectionism. We will explore the arguments for and against free trade. Does it kill jobs? Benefit consumers? Threaten national security? Are trade deficits bad? We will consider the economic and political implications of protectionism, paying particular attention to tariffs and our trade relations with China.
