...lessons that are powerful but benign. Your kid gets drunk, they throw up, feel like crap--that's a good lesson. They don't study for an exam, fail it and learn that next time they should study. Or not return the library book and have to pay the fine.

The Mather resident has certainly made good use of her studio space, taking sculpture classes, snapping thought-provoking photographs, and drawing fine sketches that have graced the pages of Harvard’s Diversity & Distinction (D&D), among other publications. This week, the Social Anthropology concentrator and newly-elected Assistant Photo Editor of D&D steps out from her behind-the-scenes work in photography and artistry for some time under...

...number of artistic opportunities at Harvard, both curricular and extracurricular, overwhelms me. However, often times I find that they are inaccessible— whether it’s because of enrollment restrictions or inability to find activities at the right level. I think Harvard does a fine job at promoting the arts, but there is definitely a lot more room for encouragement...
