Python is one of the most powerful programming languages for large, complex datasets, which makes it ideal for oceanographic research. In this class, we will use Python and Jupyter Notebooks to analyze a set of real oceanographic data (or data of your choice!). Please note that this class is for programming beginners — if you are looking for an advanced coding class, this one's probably not for you.

"sorry, there is no such thing as equality in ballet: women dance on point, men lift and support women. women receive flowers, men escort women off stage. not the other way around (I know there are couple of exceptions). and I am very comfortable with that." — Alexei Ratmansky, facebook post A dearth of women exists in the upper echelons of ballet choreography, a phenomenon noted by both academia and the popular press. And yet many arguments as to why women do not become choreographers reflect back on women in ballet – claiming a lack of interest, ambition, or even ability – and fail to acknowledge the structural and systemic inequities that promote men in ballet at the expense of their female peers. Failing to acknowledge institutional inequality places the fault of discrimination upon its victims, and ignores the gendered hierarchy within ballet institutions. As an alternative, learn how to situate ballet choreography in the context of sociological theory, to shed light on how institutions promote token men in ballet to artistic leadership positions, disproving the notion that women do not become choreographers simply because of cultural reasons that relate back to the women themselves.
