this interdisciplinary seminar we will explore a variety of methods
for self-exploration and self-expression, including writing,
photography, and art. Through discussion and related exercises and
assignments, students will explore who they are through utilizing a
variety of media, with special focus on photography. Topics to be
covered include personal history, family traditions, how gender, race
and cultural background impact our sense of self, how others see us,
and our values and goals. Students will work toward completion of a
project which can include pre-existing or original artwork,
photography, and writing. Students will be invited to submit
final projects for an exhibition open to members of the MIT community.
No prior experience with photography or artwork is required. Cameras
will be provided for those who don't have access to
one.</font></blockquote>
