  • Harvard University Graduate School of Design and Harvard Art Museums Announce Collaborative Exhibition the Divine Comedy
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Shannon Stecher Graduate School of Design 617-495-4784 [email protected] HARVARD UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF DESIGN AND HARVARD ART MUSEUMS ANNOUNCE COLLABORATIVE EXHIBITION The Divine Comedy consists of major installations by Olafur Eliasson, Tomás Saraceno, and Ai Weiwei that explore intersections of art, design, and the public domain CAMBRIDGE, MA (March 11, 2011)—The Harvard University Graduate School of Design and the Harvard Art Museums are pleased to announce an unprecedented three- part exhibition that addresses the converging domains of contemporary art and design practice. Entitled The Divine Comedy, this exhibition is comprised of major installations by internationally acclaimed artists Olafur Eliasson, Tomás Saraceno, and Ai Weiwei, and is on display March 21 through May 17, 2011, at the Graduate School of Design, the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, and the Northwest Science Building. “We are extremely excited to host these path-breaking artists and their explorations of how art and design can powerfully engage the public domain, an area of increasing focus at the Graduate School of Design,” said Mohsen Mostafavi, Dean, and Alexander and Victoria Wiley Professor of Design at the Graduate School of Design. The Divine Comedy borrows its title from Dante Alighieri’s epic medieval poem in which the author presents a vision of earthly existence as an allegorical journey through the realms of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Dante’s masterwork is widely considered to be the first poetic presentation in which scientific and philosophical themes were given central place. This exhibition explores the political dimensions of History (Weiwei), Mind (Eliasson), and Cosmos (Saraceno), and how these aspects of contemporary experience are being engaged by art and design speculation today.

  • Mary Schneider Enriquez Appointed As Harvard Art Museum's Houghton Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary
    Mary Schneider Enriquez Appointed as Harvard Art Museum’s Houghton Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art Cambridge, MA April 2, 2010 The Harvard Art Museum announces the appointment of Mary Schneider Enriquez as Houghton Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art in the museum’s Department of Modern and Contemporary Art, effective April 5, 2010. Schneider Enriquez has been Latin American art advisor to the Art Museum since 2002, working with the museum’s director and curatorial staff to identify collection and programmatic opportunities in Latin American art. She brings a long history of curatorial, academic, and administrative experience to this position, including undergraduate teaching, independent curatorial and advisory work for institutions across the U.S., art criticism, and fundraising. "I am pleased to welcome Mary to our staff," said Thomas W. Lentz, Elizabeth and John Moors Cabot Director of the Harvard Art Museum. “With her long and varied background in the art world, especially in Latin America, and as someone who already has an intimate knowledge of the Art Museum and Harvard University, she brings a distinct perspective to this position.” Currently visiting lecturer in fine arts at Brandeis University, Schneider Enriquez (Harvard A.B. ’81, A.M. ’87) is also completing her PhD in Harvard’s Department of History of Art and Architecture. She has served as a member of the Advisory Committee for Harvard’s David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies since 1995 and has been a member of the Board of Trustees at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, since 1999. She is also a member of the Harvard Art Museum’s World Visuality Committee, a group dedicated to addressing societies and their artistic traditions that have previously been underrepresented at Harvard.

US 15461.22.24. n researching my dissertation (for a doctoral degree from Syracuse University) on the work, life, and context of the nineteenth-century IAdirondack writer and photographer Seneca Ray Stoddard, I was fortunate to have access to the full holdings of important journals in the Fine Arts Library that documented mid-to-late nineteenth-century photography and its reception. In addition, despite Harvard’s teaching the history of photography only infrequently up to the 1990s, I found that the overall strength of the photography holdings in the FAL was extraordinary. To follow leads and to make connections by browsing the open shelves were invaluable opportunities. To my amazement, afer not having found a single copy elsewhere, I discovered multiple copies of Stoddard’s guidebooks in the Widener Library collection. Even afer the fne arts books in Widener had been moved to the FAL, parts of these collections still spoke to one another in meaningful ways.

    Program in Neuroscience Student Handbook 2019—2020 Harvard University Program in Neuroscience Student Handbook Program in Neuroscience Department of Neurobiology Harvard Medical School Goldenson Building, Room 129 220 Longwood Avenue Boston, MA 02115 http://www.hms.harvard.edu/dms/neuroscience John Assad, Ph.D., Director David Ginty, Ph.D., Associate Director Karen Harmin, Administrator (617) 432-0912 Email: [email protected] August 2018 Overview of the Program in Neuroscience The Program in Neuroscience (“PiN”) is Harvard’s university-wide Ph.D. program in neuroscience. With over 130 research faculty members located at Harvard Medical School, Harvard’s Cambridge campus, and the Harvard-affiliated hospitals, it offers comprehensive training and outstanding research opportunities for graduate students. In the first year, students take the two mandatory core courses of the PiN curriculum: Quantitative Methods for Biologists (NB306QC), an intensive two-week boot camp in August that introduces students to statistics using the MATLAB programming language; and Discipline of Neuroscience (NB215), the year-long, flagship course of PiN that is designed to endow trainees with the broad, cross-discipline conceptual fluency required of neuroscientists. In consultation with faculty of the Student Advisory Committee, students may also choose to complete additional elective courses during their first year. PiN students must complete four quarters’ equivalence of electives (equaling two full semester courses), of which one quarter must be fulfilled by an advanced quantitative elective (e.g. NEUROBIO 308QC Thinking About Data: Statistics for the Life Sciences). While students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of neuroanatomy course offerings for their electives, neuroanatomy is not required.

  • Based in Calicut, Kerala, Other Books Sells and Publishes Books That Mainstream Publishers and Distributors Don't Cater. Start
    An Alternative Reading Since 2003 Based in Calicut, Kerala, Other Books sells and publishes books that mainstream publishers and distributors don’t cater. Started in 2003 by a collective of university students, academics and social activists, Other Books pursues to widen contemporary discourses on subaltern studies, caste, gender, mysticism, Islam and arts in India and elsewhere by distrib- uting and publishing books in these rapidly evolving fields of humanities. As a publisher, our focus has been to bring out quality titles on South Indian history, particularly Mappila history and other areas where at- tention is quantitatively less. Caste, Gender, West-Asian Politics and Islam are also areas that matter for us.
