Evolution of Language: Chomsky & Dennett
Most conscious stories are told through the use of language and have been recorded in text and orally through time. The concept of language has been clearly defined and accepted but the evolution of language remains...
Group Presentation
For our presentation my group created a barometer – we made a spectrum outside on the green, with one person standing on one end as ‘agree’ and another on the other end as ‘disagree’, with plenty of room in between. (If anyone has taken any education classes at Bryn Mawr they might be familiar with this exercise). Each of us then proceeded to read out a statement from one section of...
It took me a while to really understand the concept of “feminism unbound,” and alas I am sure there is still much more to learn and understand about it. What does it mean to unbind feminism? In the simplest sense, “feminism unbound” is feminism after we have problematized the ideas of sex and gender, after we have realized how difficult it is to define the category “women,” after we have acknowledged that sexism affects everyone in infinite ways...

To learn a little more about how this conversation is playing...
Describe what happened when you played Prisoner’s Dilemma. Give an example of a prisoner's dilemma operating in your life. (An example: Peter and Anne have been trying to create a win-win situation in this class. Do you think that is possible? Can thinking out loud/reading/writing papers be a zero-sum game? If we all cooperate? When there's grading @ semester's end?)

Modern class with Ms. B
Printmaking! (My concentration!!) Block printing with styrofoam plates
Show images of block prints, mostly animas, woodcuts, etc. b/w only
Ms. B did this with a group at her church last week and it was such a success that she wanted to try it again with this group.
I cut the center circles out of plates for them. She had stencils of animals for them to trace. Trace in marker, then press image and designs into plate with pens (sketch)...
