This seminar, taken in conjunction with students' term-long teaching apprenticeship, which means working in a school for seven hours a day, helps to establish both an ideological and a practical foundation for self-recognition, classroom problem-solving, and smart colleagueship. Through reading, class discussions and various projects related to our individual and collective
Everybody’s Protest Novel “As writers we were about as unlike as any two writers could possible be,” James Baldwin wrote of his early mentor and later rival Richard Wright. “We were linked together, really, because both of us were black.” But while
This course centers on the creation of scale models as a vital part of the scenic design process and an essential tool for communication. Students will explore how three-dimensional models communicate design ideas, test spatial relationships, and support collaboration throughout a production. Working from scripts and design concepts, students will learn to translate
Scanning electron microscopes are a fundamental tool in the physical and life sciences. When equipped with an X-Ray spectrometer, a SEM can provide rapid physical and chemical data of specimens on extremely small scales. This class with cover the theory and practical applications of SEM imaging and analysis for advanced science students who have their own research interests.
This Scriptorium, a “place for writing,” functions as a class for writers interested in improving their critical essay-writing skills. We will read to write and write to read. Much of our time will be occupied with writing and revising—essai means “trial” or “attempt”—as we work to create new habits and strategies for our analytical

This course asks each student to work in a self-directed way among a community of critical thinkers. Finding one’s voice, as a maker, requires research sources of influence and inspiration. Students are expected to undertake a significant amount of work outside of regular class meetings. At this point in your Visual Arts Education
Scholarly estimates consistently place the percentage of the world’s population able to communicate proficiently in more than one language over 50% -- most people in the world are multilingual. Yet, multilingual competence is regularly treated as an unusual, secondary or even aberrant state that requires explanation and interpretation, while monolingualism is assumed
This spring semester course, taught each year by different members of the Music faculty, serves as a workshop and forum for seniors to develop, present, and receive feedback on their advanced work in Music. Senior projects may take many forms, reflecting the breadth of creative practice in Music; performances, installations, musical plays, recordings, research projects,
Sight-Singing Party! is a low-stakes, high-participation class built on one simple idea: the only way to learn how to sight-sing is to do it ... a lot. So we will. Expect to sing constantly, jump in before you feel ready, make glorious mistakes, laugh hard, recover, and keep going. We’ll build the core skills of sight-singing—reading sheet music and singing it on
The buzz of a protest, the hushed anticipation of an audience, the euphoria of the festival - where do these feelings come from? And further, what do they generate? This course considers how we can study feelings which are located not only within an individual, but between us - that is, within the social.
Social Kitchen Practicum 2.0: Fourth Space. In our digital age, the physical spaces where we gather are more vital than ever. This course explores the Social Kitchen as a "fourth
Celtic history and music from Ireland, Scotland, Bretagne, Galatia, and Cape Breton will be experienced, studied, and performed using instruments and voices. We’ll find and cross the musical bridges between regions–from the ballads of Ireland, Scotland and Wales to the Alalas of Spain, through the Scottish Gaelic speaking Highland and Islands to the dance tunes of Brittany.
Students with burgeoning linguistic skills will learn the language through an immersion in Latin American and Spanish film in the second half of this full-year introduction to the Spanish-speaking world. While there will be some discussion of more common tactics such as stylistic nuances, script-writing, acting, dubbing, and directors’ biographies, it is expected that we
This course will provide knowledge and skills to offer effective education to students with a range of learning and behavioral characteristics, in a variety of settings. Emphasis will be placed on building an equitable environment for all ages and grades, preK-12, to implement in the future. We will consider how to structure classrooms and plan teaching that is
In lieu of more conventional advanced Spanish classes, paralleling a series of often disparate tutorials, with tutees working in relative isolation, the proposal is to allow students free rein over an idea for a final, term-long project, while concurrently offering them an educated, exoteric audience to assist in fleshing out their work. Faculty will provide
This intermediate/advanced linear algebra class will focus mostly on two main topics: spectra, and tensors. The theory of matrix spectra, (eigenvalues and eigenvectors), is arguably one of the most useful ideas in all of mathematics. We will discuss some major applications, such as input-output models in economics, the Page Rank algorithm, JPEG compression, the Fast Fourier
In the last thirty years, the study of life beyond our own planet has gone from science fiction to legitimate science. The course will initially focus on how stars form and evolve, starting from the formation of the universe, and continuing to a discussion of stars as both the synthesizers of heavy elements and the central energy source for stellar systems. From there, we
In this course, we will focus on developing the statistical skills needed to answer questions by collecting data, designing experimental studies, and analyzing large publicly available datasets. The skills learned will also help students to be critical consumers of statistical results. We will use a variety of datasets to develop skills in data management, analysis, and
In this course students will learn to use social science statistics to test their own research questions, while becoming more educated consumers of statistical analyses presented in research and news sources. Students will employ various inferential statistics techniques commonly used in social science, such as confidence intervals, t-tests, chi
Where and how does study happen? What is the value of study, and how do we recognize that value? What does it mean to think of our study of dance and performance as an encounter, and how might that thinking offer up a chance for one to pay attention differently? Is it different from research? Or, as Kevin Quashie suggests, does it perhaps

Studio Practice is designed to offer each student a rigorous and immersive dance study experience. A deep-dive into practices of critical physicality, students will be supported in making direct connections across an abundance of dance forms that rearrange and blur the boundaries between traditional and emerging techniques.
