...visiting lecturer on the History of Italian Civilization, Paolo Galluzzi; he comes to Harvard from the Institute and Museum of the History of Science in Florence, where he is collaborating with the Uffizi Gallery on an exhibit on Leonardo da Vinci. Coincidentally enough, it’s the subject of his course, History of Science 111v, “Leonardo da Vinci: The Science of Art and the Art of Science.”The new chair of the department, Anne Harrington, is one of the most popular professors in the College. She has a no-nonsense personality, her lectures...
...Courses of Instruction describe this Core area as a study of “creative cultural epochs in history,” exploring “how works of literature and art function within a given society.” Which is excellent, because the courses have equally obtuse subject matter and syllabi. Students might question the ties that bind classes like C-20, “The Hero of Irish Myth and Saga” and C-51, “Revolution and Reaction: The Rise and Fall of the Russian Avant-Garde.” A common theme...
...classes are often too broad to allow for any kind of in-depth study (“That’s outside the scope of the course” is an ‘answer’ you’ll come to expect from your TF), the subject matter is often fascinating enough to serve as a jumping-off point to further exploration in the sciences. Unlike some Cores (ahem, Moral Reasoning) where every offering is basically the same course with 10 different names, each Science B touches on a different topic, from the anatomy of dinosaurs...
...this course, you can keep it real—and keep a backup in case that job at Goldman is too tempting to turn down come senior spring.What else? Social Analysis 66, “Race, Ethnicity, and Politics in the United States” has decently interesting subject matter, but the syllabus gets bogged down in numbers-based poli-sci essays. Social Analysis 34, “Knowledge of Language” seems like a cool introduction to linguistics, which is a really underrated field; theories of language can teach you a lot about life. Social Analysis...
...tutorials cover the same lengthy theory texts social studies concentrators read, but in much smaller doses and with lots of practical application (Read: less room for BS’ing. Sigh). Tutorial’s TFs are famously engrossing, supportive and approachable. Two classes worth noting for their interesting subject matter and attraction of non-concentrators are Jason Kaufmann`s Sociology 153, “Media and the American Mind,” and Prudence Carter`s Sociology 60, “Sociology of Race and Ethnicity.” The former’s pop-cultury material is accessible...
