Art and Composite Culture in South Asian History is a one-week program that takes key instances of art production in South Asia from the past 2000 years to explore the cultural mixing, syncretism, and hybridity that shaped the region’s pluralistic history. The goal of the program is to offer an indispensable toolkit of skills for visual analysis and interpretation that can be used to teach South Asia’s history in dynamic and creative ways. Led by art historians, historians, and museum curators, this week of lectures, discussions, and practicums will allow participants to generate the depth and context required to teach South Asian history through its visual arts. To this end, we will also spend a day at the San Diego Museum of Art for a hands-on study of South Asian paintings. Educators will return to their classrooms ready to engage their students through an exploration of the visual arts.
Applications for this program are due March 1, 2022. More information about applying can be found here: https://orias.berkeley.edu/professional-development/art-and-composite-culture-south-asian-history

Book Study: Francis Su wrote this book to speak to all people, everywhere, about the ways in which mathematics can help us grow and develop character and virtue. Every chapter presents Su’s own thoughts as well as learning from Christopher Jackson, who realized later in life that he was a mathematician.

Jackson and Su, fellow mathematical explorers, began corresponding while Jackson was in a high-security federal prison. Every chapter includes puzzles, tasks and reflection questions, allowing readers to engage meaningfully with the book. The course takes five synchronous and four asynchronous sessions.
