360°: Exhibiting Modern Art
This 360° will consider differences in addressing academy and community as audiences, and bring together theoretical and practical aspects of art history, art criticism, art exhibition, and art education.

360°: Origins of Freedom
How might human beings live according to nature? Is property natural? Is freedom or unfreedom? How can studying human societies in the past inform collective organization in the present?

360°: Climate Change
This cluster integrates literary, scientific, and policy perspectives to highlight both the complexity of climate change and the many innovative ideas being developed to address it worldwide.

360°: Learning and Narrating Childhoods
Incorporating a visit to the Titagya school in rural Ghana, this 360° explores how children grow and develop in different contexts (e.g. schools, communities, households) and cultures (e.g., the United States, West Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa) and how this growth and development is conceptualized and represented–in texts and theories–mainly by adults, across cultures and fields of study.

This cluster provides a multidisciplinary approach to the technical analysis, historical interpretation, and museum display of early Byzantine textiles.

"One of the questions I ask in my dissertation is, what does it mean to be physically far but psychologically close to a conflict? I find myself in the role of someone who is experiencing this war from afar yet incredibly close to my loved ones."

Fay Koyfman '24
“The goal is to make sure everyone has an equal opportunity for treatments and cures. This resonated with me because I am interested in medicine and specifically making sure there is equity in medicine.â€

Meagan Murray-Bruce '20
I chose 911ºÚÁÏÍø because my college counselor recommended it to me. He said if I wanted to go to a school that competed at basketball at a very high level and also had a strong Mathematics Department, that 911ºÚÁÏÍø was the right school for me.
