It will introduce participants to local Black artists, exploring the multifaceted stories, expressions, and histories woven into their creations. Through hands-on activities, students will master the skills of curation, presentation, and interpretation, gaining a profound appreciation for the importance of Black art in Minneapolis. Beyond empowering aspiring curators, the course aims to foster cultural inclusivity and understanding, bridging divides between communities and their artistic heritage.

- What is a happy life and how can you get one? Does happiness depend on making money? Having a family? Being a good friend? Meditation and sleep? What goals are the key to living a good life? In this course, we learn strategies for identifying our most important goals, and we examine research on happiness, well-being, and flourishing for insights about which goals are best for us. The goals of the course are practical. The readings and coursework are designed to develop skills of reflection on what matters in life and strategies for putting these reflections into action. We'll read articles and book chapters from philosophical and psychological experts on the nature and ingredients of a happy or flourishing life and put these ideas to work in what we'll call the "Life Lab". Experiments in the Life Lab can take place in your dorm, your parents' house, your classrooms, or really anywhere! Reports from your experiments will be discussed in class. This is a hands-on course. No prior experience necessary - all you need is an interest in figuring out what matters in life and an open mind. The goals of the course: 1. Learn strategies for identifying what matters most to you. 2. Learn what experts have said about which goals and values lead to happiness, well-being, and flourishing. 3. Discover strategies for living a better, happier life and put those strategies into practice.
