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!
