The semester's classes are unfolding nicely. Theorizing Religion has entered the world religions MOOCs, filling students' heads with knowledge of Islam and Buddhism before we get into the otherwise too self-referential discussions of the definition of religion. And in New School Histories, one of our teaching assistants, who's been working with the "Women's Legacy at The New School" project, gave a lovely mini-lecture which included portraits of all the ten women who were on the organizing committee of the New School, and raised new questions (at least to me) of how the New School's vision might be shaped by different movements in progressive era women's education. Exciting starts!
