When asked what sparked his interest in this particular area, Propp told the UCSD Guardian that he was introduced to the subject through music. “I was part of the men’s choir club at Harvard, and we were introduced to a Swedish professor of Hebrew, who introduced us to his research,” Propp said. “I declared my major halfway through freshman year, especially fascinated with the structures of mummies at the museum he showed us.” Propp has been at UCSD since 1983 where he started to teach here before completing his Ph.D. Being a professor initially appealed to him because he realized it would enable him to explore his research at length.

Propp argues taking courses in history allows students to gain a deeper sense of self as well as learning how to communicate more clearly. “These students would actually get to know their professors, especially while writing papers, and they therefore learn to write much better @ucsdguardian than their classmates in the sciences,” Propp said. “There is a saying: A person who doesn’t know their history is an amnesiac, because they cannot know their identity.” CALENDAR THE UCSD GUARDIAN | MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2016 | WWW.UCSDGUARDIAN.ORG 9
