This PR replaces Alex Spangher's Teaching Assistant information with Katy Felkner's information throughout the course website. Katy Felkner is a PhD student working with Jonathan May at USC ISI.

Changes Made

  • Removed: _staffers/alexspangher.md containing Alex Spangher's profile
  • Removed: assets/images/alexspangher.png (Alex Spangher's photo)
  • Added: _staffers/katyfelkner.md with Katy Felkner's profile:
    • Name: Katy Felkner
    • Role: Teaching Assistant
    • Email: felkner@usc.edu
    • Office Hours: TBD
  • Updated: _config.yml to exclude vendor directory from Jekyll processing (build improvement)

The website now correctly displays Katy Felkner as the Teaching Assistant on both the main course page and the dedicated staff page. Katy is already referenced in the course schedule as giving a guest lecture on Ethics on October 8th.

The changes are minimal and surgical, only affecting the specific TA information that needed to be updated while preserving all other course content and structure.
