Course Description
This course covers contemporary and historical art made in response to the ebb and flow of daily life and the material conditions of the street, the city, and the home. It explores texts of the art and politics of the everyday and topics related to the 19th through 21st-century theory and practice. Students focus on artists who heighten awareness of the banal and mundane, of the detritus of life, of gendered distinctions between home and city, and the paradoxical revelation of the marvelous in the everyday.

Emphasis is placed on the quantitative methods in ecology, including sound planning and experimental designs, and on the role of ecological science in the conservation, management, exploitation, and control of populations. Relevant case studies of ecological processes are drawn from marine, freshwater, and terrestrial systems, with plants, animals, fungi, and other life forms.
