MEET REED'S NEW PROFESSORS: With each class of new faculty comes vibrance and cutting-edge expertise that further enhances Reed's academic program. This fall, the college welcomed 18 professors to teach courses on topics ranging from political decision-making to computer networking. We invite you to learn more about them.
CONGRATS TO PROF. FORTUNA: The de la Torre Bueno First Book Prize from the Dance Studies Association was awarded to Prof. Victoria Fortuna for Moving Otherwise: Dance, Violence, and Memory in Buenos Aires. The book examines how dancers and audiences responded to the violence and political upheaval in Argentina’s capital starting in the 1960s.
FILM FESTIVAL STARTS TONIGHT: The Cooley Gallery is pleased to present FROM AFAR, a weeklong film festival organized by Roland Dahwen ’13, artist, filmmaker, and the Cooley’s artist in residence during the 2020–21 academic year. Learn how you can get a free ticket!
LISTEN & LEARN: Burn Your Draft is a podcast from the Center for Life Beyond Reed (CLBR) in which seniors and recent graduates talk about the senior thesis experience. The podcast is hosted by Frank Tangherlini '22 and features recent interviews include Alyse Cronk '20 about microfinance in Mexico and Lewis Chapman '19 on his experiences researching the politics of Pat Robertson. The podcast is a collaboration between students, alumni, and staff; it is sponsored by Seth Paskin '90 and produced by CLBR's own Nate Martin '16
HOW REED CENTERS TEACHING: The pandemic has highlighted the pivotal role Reed’s Center for Teaching and Learning has played in helping professors adjust to virtual instruction. “From the very beginning, the center has focused on pedagogy and inclusivity as a single concept,” says Dean of the Faculty and Professor of Psychology Kathy Oleson.
