What would Lucy think?
Distinctively interdisciplinary, Skid- more’s freshman seminars are named for Lucy Skidmore Scribner in honor of her progressive, even pioneering approach in the early days of her school and col- lege. But the often topical, sometimes edgy subjects of the Scribner Seminars today would have boggled her mind. Take, for example:
• “Narcocultures,” with Spanish profes- sor Maria Lander
• “Visual Culture of Caffeine,” with art historian Mimi Hellman
• “Colonization of Space,” with astro- physicist Mary Odekon
• “Plagues and Humans,” with biologist Sylvia McDevitt
• “Afterlives,” with English professor Regina Janes
• “Popular Kabbalah,” with religion scholar Marla Segol
• “Shakespeare was Jewish?” with theater professor Lary Opitz
• “Welfare and Poli- tics,” with sociologist Pat Oles
• “Africa Through Its Changing Cinema,” with French and Maghreb scholar Hédi Jaouad
• “Leather, Paper, Lead,” with artist Kate Leavitt
• “Sex/Text,” with literary scholar Mason Stokes
• “Self and Desire,” with philosopher Reg Lilly
• “Latin American Image/ Reality,” with govern- ment professor Aldo Vacs
Worth the trip from anywhere!
