  • Introduction to Chinese Calligraphy

    Sponsored by:
    Winterterm Workshop

    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.

    Mahaney Arts Center and Elizabeth Hackett Robinson ’84 Innovation Hub

    This interactive public art installation invites members of the Middlebury community to reflect on what matters most. By sharing personal hopes and aspirations on a communal wall, the project fosters connection, introspection, and a celebration of our shared humanity. Inspired by the global Before I Die project, this installation transforms public space into a canvas for gratitude, memory, and possibility.

    Living with Genji: The "World's First Novel" in 21st Century Japan

    The students in JAPN 290 (“Reading the Tale of Genji” in English”) and Prof. Otilia Milutin (Japanese Studies) are cordially inviting you and your students to view their exhibit, “Living with Genji: The World’s First Novel in 21st Century Japan.” The exhibit features a selection of objects, artwork, movies, and manga inspired by the 11th century classic The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu.  Our exhibit aims to showcase a few selected items that speak both of the tale’s enduring legacy in traditional Japanese arts, and, equally important, of its contemporary reiterations, be they manga and movies adaptations or commercial, consumer-oriented products such as mascots, stationary, fabrics, and other everyday objects.  Through our exhibit, we hope to demonstrate how a millennium old classic lives and thrives today in contemporary Japan.

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

    Sponsored by:
    Center for Teaching, Learning and Research and Office of Digital Learning and Inquiry

    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?
