This semester's 2022 Micro-Course will focus on humanity’s use of technology and the disparate impacts on and benefits to the environment and varying groups of people. This will include discussion around the material, environmental, and health costs of extracting materials necessary to technological development and production as well as the waste created by the consumption habits initiated by global reliance on technology. It will also include a discussion of technology’s role in advancing sustainability.

In this four-part weekend micro-course (spanning four semesters), we will examine the power of technology on humanity and its implications on social justice in four areas: governance, environment, education, and health. Information about the speakers is on our website!

During the Silent Film Era in Korea, movie screenings were accompanied by live music and narrators called "byeonsa." Korean Film Archive and director Tae-yong Kim have restored this theatrical experience with live musical accompaniment. This special screening of Crossroads of Youth invites you to experience the film just as Korean audiences did when it was premiered in 1934. For more information about this event, click here.
