Review: Opportunity to connect outside classroom
By Chris McClintick | November 17, 2011Making a connection between the Brazilian art of capoeira, economic game theory and American composer, music theorist, writer and artist, John Cage is difficult. The Cultural Connections series did just that by using a loose theme -- games in this case -- to guide three 10-minute presentations by University of Richmond faculty and staff on a subject of their choice. The series began this semester after Boatwright Memorial Library staff members were inspired by "The Dr. T ProjecT" created by Shawkat Toorawa, a professor of Arabic Literature and Islamic Studies at Cornell University.
