Quentin's Weeknotes 5/16/21-5/22/21
This Week:
- Mercifully, it’s the last week of classes at Hartwick, and my students finished up their collections projects with gusto. Everyone I know here is tired and dragging themselves across the finish line of this long, long semester.
- I wrote a letter of recommendation for student to go to graduate school in Museum studies.
- I started doing some planning for Fall events at the Yager Museum.
- I did some work on the Masks Exhibit.
- I finished reading a book about alternatives to traditional classroom grading that I’m still ruminating on.
- I picked up a copy of the Current 93 album “Black Ships Ate the Sky." I don’t have a lot of familiarity with Current 93’s weird and exhaustingly long back-catalog, but this album is filled with multiple wonderful interpretations by different guest singers of the old Sacred Harp song Idumea, and it’s worth it for that.
