Yet we are often taught not to think, discuss, or even notice it. This course will teach the opposite lesson. Together we will learn about the power, diversity, and creativity of religion in the history of the United States of America.

As we discuss critical and primary readings on media, democracy, and the public sphere, the class will undergo a process together. We will cultivate our own public sphere, setting rules and adjusting them as we go. The midterm and final projects are short exercises in established genres of media intervention. text/html 2026-08-21T16:36:34+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://nathanschneider.info/school/future_histories_of_technology?rev=1787330194&do=diff Future Histories of Technology MDST 2046 This course explores how visions of the future have shaped the development of technology, and how technologies shape visions of the future in turn. It reveals how claims over the future organize power relations and constrain imaginations. Coursework takes the form of a creative workshop, where students make original multimedia artifacts and engage in constructive critique with one another. text/html 2026-08-14T15:46:56+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://nathanschneider.info/school/university_policies?rev=1786722416&do=diff University of Colorado Boulder Policies Honor Code All students enrolled in a University of Colorado Boulder course are responsible for knowing and adhering to the Honor Code.

I love hearing from students, and I love helping my students succeed. I also love email, which is at least in theory an ownerless, anarchistic, open protocol that doesn't rely on any one company or entity to make it work. But often I find that students come to college in need of a few pointers on what an effective email looks like. text/html 2026-07-21T22:48:18+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://nathanschneider.info/school/wiki:syntax?rev=1784674098&do=diff Formatting Syntax DokuWiki supports some simple markup language, which tries to make the datafiles to be as readable as possible.

There is no one style of citation that is appropriate for every case. Rather than stipulate a particular citation style for all times and places, I encourage students to learn to determine for themselves what standards they should use in a given context. By the end of one's education, one should be familiar with a variety of citation techniques. text/html 2019-11-12T20:45:50+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://nathanschneider.info/school/gould?rev=1573591550&do=diff In the mid-forties, on the fourth floor of the American Museum of Natural History, there stood the remains of a tyrannosaurus.

By turning a critical eye to the networks around us today, we will learn to design tools and economies for networks to come.
