Wednesday June 5th 2019 11:29AM Dreamt about my thesis last night. There was a table of people. A lot of them people of color. I had to defend it, I don’t remember what specifically. I think that part wasn’t that bad? It was bad, I got a 2 (?) out of what? 3 I think?… Continue reading 6-5-19

Tuesday June 4th 2019 11:24 AM Went to bed early last night; showered around 11PM. Had an alarm set for 9:30AM—wasn’t ridiculous, I had been getting tired before that and even after the shower didn’t really have trouble falling asleep or anything. Days moving slowly—can’t believe I went to the library and Chase yesterday. Can’t… Continue reading 6-4-19

Monday June 3rd 2019 11:40AM Going to check or rather set an alarm to review—this Sunday, at 8PM. Review the first week out of undergrad. Will do that now.

Williams Record – A Delacroix at the Clark Art Institute Forces a Reconsideration of History
Art history as a discipline often seems static, frozen. We think of it in terms of eras and those eras in terms of names—from the Renaissance we have Michelangelo, da Vinci; from Impressionism, Monet. There is a canon, and that canon is inviolable, codified in textbooks and lecture halls. But that’s not exactly how it… Continue reading Williams Record – A Delacroix at the Clark Art Institute Forces a Reconsideration of History
The Williams Record – Who Are Museums For? Claiming Williams 2016
“Claiming Williams invites the community to acknowledge and understand the uncomfortable reality that not all students, staff, and faculty can equally ‘claim’ Williams.” So goes the mission statement of Claiming Williams Day, held this year on February 4 th .
