Metamaterials describes a new field of engineered materials having subwavelength structures, and which have electromagnetic properties not found in nature.

Meta-atoms are LCR circuits having strong resonant behavior over some chosen bandwidth. The distribution of many such atoms and their mutual interaction determine the bulk metamaterial’s properties. Describing these properties draws from electromagnetics, antenna design, atomic and molecular physics and condensed matter physics. At increasingly small scales (i.e., at the nanoscale), both quantum and plasmonic phenomena can play a role.

PHIL 6110 - Ethical Theory
Examination of major normative and meta theories that undergird our practical judgments about morally right actions and morally good persons, organizations, or policies. This examination may include central problems and issues concerning morality’s: requirements (e.g., utility, duty, virtue, care), authority (e.g., absolutism, relativism, pluralism, multiculturalism), scope (e.g., deceased or future human beings, animals, environment), justification (e.g., rationality, intuition), source (e.g., reason, sentiment, disagreement), and nature (e.g., realism/antirealism, objectivity/subjectivity).

PHIL 6120 - Philosophical Methods and Analysis
Explores the distinctive and various methods within philosophy (logical, phenomenological, feminist, conceptual, linguistic, deconstructive, and others), their uses in particular contexts (including links to other disciplines), and how methodology shapes philosophy (including its social impact). One aim is to clarify “applied philosophy” by examining its methods. Students will analyze, evaluate, reconstruct, and originate arguments, judgments, and decisions. They will do so in connection with both texts shared among all the students in the class and the particular interests of individual students. Each student will develop a paper over the course of the semester to bring these issues together.

PHIL 6210 - Ethics and Aesthetics
Art often generates ethical conflicts because of its forms, content, or functions in society, and ethical debates are sometimes played out through art, so ethics and aesthetics are deeply intertwined. In turn, aesthetics has been strongly tied to politics. The course will cover a range of ethical/political issues in aesthetics across various arts (visual arts, film, music, literature, etc.), including readings from classical and contemporary authors such as Plato, Hume, Kant, Nietzsche, Adorno, Said, Nussbaum, and Piper.
