My Summer Scholars course with Paula didn’t make
I learned today that the Summer Scholars course that I was gonna teach with Paula next month died for lack of people signing up. I’m disappointed because it would have been a cool subject and a cool group of students and a blast teaching with Paula, but I’m also somewhat relieved to know that I get those two weeks of my life back. (The students are high school students that live on campus for the two weeks, and we spend a lot of time with them while they’re here.) The summer already feels like it’s half over, and the to-do list just hasn’t shrunk much…
Our course was going to be on dissent and censorship. I think it would have been really interesting, but it’s a somewhat difficult topic to present and sell to high school students. Paula and I keen to try again next year, and hopefully we’ll figure out how to draw in more people then.
