The Teaching and Learning Committee invites faculty to participate in a series of discussions based on Gerald Graff's book "Clueless in Academe: How Schooling Obscures the Life of the Mind"(Yale, 2003). Graff combines recent research and provocative arguments relating to the compartmentalization of academic disciplines, the difficulty of academic discourse, and obstacles to teaching argument and critical thinking in higher education--as well as a few modest proposals for addressing these issues.

Books are available free at the Dean of the College's office for faculty interested in joining some or all of the discussions. The second discussion will take place in Gilbert's Annex at 4:10pm on Tuesday, November 11.

Please contact Chris Phillips (phillipc@lafayette.edu) or Rebecca Metzger (metzgerr@lafayette.edu) with any questions.

Inspired by the mapping of the human genome, this multimedia dance piece is the result of a rare collaboration among artists, scientists, and educators.

Choreographer Liz Lerman’s multigenerational company brings scientific inquiry to life on stage as it explores the miracles of inheritance, genetic engineering, and medical ethics.

The Chicago Sun-Times calls Ferocious Beauty: Genome “beautiful, richly imaginative, hugely ambitious...a seamless blend of dance, music ingenious storytelling, video, and special effects...captivating, surprisingly funny, intensely moving, thought-provoking.”
