My two main classes of the semester have begun, and with good vibes!
The syllabi look a little conventional (but for The New School's proprietary font Neue) but there are exciting adventures ahead in both. This second iteration of "Performing the Problem of Suffering" has nearly a hundred students in a nice mix from all the university's divisions, and four TAs similarly varied. "Religion & Ecology" is a new one for me, with ten students (twelve registered) also from varied backgrounds. In both classes we actually broke new ground in the very first class, with students engaging each other and me in vigorous discussion. Nice!
