Winter 2026 - Incredible class with every lecture being extremely interesting and different from the last. Each week ties into the next, but with different professors taking on different perspectives, the class is much more engaging than a singular viewpoint. A great way to learn about data with respect to justice and society (like it mentions in the cluster).
