  • The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI

    Higher education stands at a crossroads. Economic, cultural, and technological forces are encouraging and permitting students to cheat in new and more pervasive ways. Generative AI has rendered current assessment regimes obsolete and called traditional pedagogical strategies into question across disciplines. How then, is an instructor to respond in the face of overwhelming change?

    Carol Rifelj Lecture Series: The Story Behind "Witness Marks: Anatomy of a Memory"

    “Witness Marks: Anatomy of a Memory” is a multi-media installation, premiering at the Kent Museum, in Calais, VT, in September, in which I explore how we create, store, and access memory. While there have been theories of how the brain works for millennia, we only have accurate imagery of brain structures based on dissection spanning from the 1860s (drawings by scientists Deiters, Golgi, Bevan-Lewis, and Dejerine, to name a few), to Ramon y Cajal’s drawings of neurons (1899 – 1930s), all the way to the colorful and beautiful photo imagery of neuronal circuits generated by supercomputers.

  • Introduction to Chinese Calligraphy

    A comprehensive introduction to traditional Chinese brush calligraphy. We will start from the very basics: how to hold a brush and the basic strokes. Each week will consist of two sessions, with each week focusing on a new style or calligrapher. The leader will give an introduction to each style and demonstrate writing. The participants will then have the opportunity to practice, with the workshop leader giving feedback. During the last session (or two) we will write traditional Spring Couplets on red paper for Spring Festival. No experience necessary.
