Fall 2007.
As of right now, these are the classes I'm hoping to tentatively take my fall semester of senior year:
ANTH 116B: Human Osteology
Skeletal anatomy and application of forensic techniques to archaeological problems. Hands-on laboratory sessions focus on methods of estimating age, determining sex, assessing variability, distinguishing bone disorders, and identifying cultural and natural modifications to bony tissue. Case studies exemplify bioarchaeological approaches.
BCHM 102A: Quantitative Approaches to Biochemical Systems
Introduces quantitative approaches to analyzing macromolecular structure and function. Emphasizes the use of basic thermodynamics and single-molecule and ensemble kinetics to elucidate biochemical reaction mechanisms. Also discusses the physical bases of spectroscopic and diffraction methods commonly used in the study of proteins and nucleic acids.
CHEM 147B: Physical Chemistry - Mass Spectrometry
The process of ionization, ion separation, and ion detection is taught at the theoretical level, and applied to the understanding of modern mass spectrometry.
If not Chem 147B, then BIO 128A: Human Genetics
Survey of topics including: mutation and polymorphism; molecular methodology; single-gene inheritance and complexities thereof; multifactorial conditions, risk assessment and Bayesian analysis; cytogenetics; hemoglobinopathies; population genetics; gene mapping; cancer genetics; ethical considerations in genetics; immunogenetics; pharmacogenetics; genetics of development; biochemistry of selected genetic diseases; gene therapy, genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics.
And if I am not a Bio-Lab TA, then ENG 87A: Sex and Race in the American Novel
Depictions of racial and sexual others abound in American literature of the twentieth century. Reading texts across racial, geographical, and temporal divides, this course investigates the representation of non-normative sexualities as signaled, haunted, or repaired by am appeal to race.
Any way it works out, there will be 3-4 classes, perhaps TA-ing introductory Biology lab, credit for thesis, and a gym class (not yet determined). Outside of class and labwork, I will be a staff member of QRC still and hopefully the director of TransBrandeis.
