SUMMER "#$% MAGAZINE !e Community Issue BUILDINGPEOPLE USC Dornsife’s impact begins in Los Angeles and stretches around the globe. 2 CONTRIBUTOR ARIEH WARSHEL Nobel Laureate and Distinguished Professor of Chemistry During a white-tie ceremony in Stockholm, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden presented USC Dornsife’s Arieh Warshel and two colleagues with the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The Royal Swedish Acad- emy of Sciences awarded the prize to Warshel, Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, along with Michael Levitt of Stanford University and Martin Karplus of the Université de Strasbourg in France and Harvard University, for the development of multiscale models for complex chemi- cal systems. Warshel, Karplus and Levitt developed methods to model chemical reac- tions using computer simu- lations — a cornerstone of modern chemistry. With the Swedish royal family on the right side of the stage at the Stockholm Concert Hall and the newly minted Nobel laureates on the left, Carl-Henrik Heldin, chairman of the board of di- rectors of the Nobel Founda- tion, illuminated the history of the awards and the laure- ates’ visionary work. Each laureate received a medal, a diploma and a document confirming the Nobel Prize amount.

FUTURE WORLD(S): A Critique of Disney's EPCOT and Creating a Futuristic Curriculum by ALAN BOWERS (Under the Direction of Daniel Chapman) ABSTRACT In my dissertation inquiry, I explore the need for utopian based curriculum which was inspired by Walt Disney’s EPCOT Center. Theoretically building upon such works regarding utopian visons (Bregman, 2017, e.g., Claeys 2011;) and Disney studies (Garlen and Sandlin, 2016; Fjellman, 1992), this work combines historiography and speculative essays as its methodologies. In addition, this project explores how schools must do the hard work of working toward building a better future (Chomsky and Foucault, 1971). Through tracing the evolution of EPCOT as an idea for a community that would “always be in the state of becoming” to EPCOT Center as an inspirational theme park, this work contends that those ideas contain possibilities for how to interject utopian thought in schooling.
