Introduction

Hi, my name is Emily Lovejoy, and I am a rising senior at Bryn Mawr College.  I am majoring in psychology, with a minor in geology.  The two fields don't quite go hand in hand, but it is interesting to learn about two sciences that can be taught in very different ways.  I am particularly interested in studying eating disorders and the neurobiology associated with them.  I am also interested in education, and I think it would be rewarding to combine my interests in education and psychology to become a school psychologist.

Introduction!

Hello!  My name is Brielle Stark and I'm a rising sophomore at Bryn Mawr College.  I hope to major in psychology, minor in biology and concentrate in neural and behavioral science.  I have aspirations of studying the behavioral impact of traumatic brain injury and seizures on the brain as well as studying the diverse behavioral affects of developmental disorders in regard to the usage and structure of the brain.  I have worked with individuals with disabilities for roughly eight years now, and hope to continue this relationship in my career.

Transdisciplinary Meeting Proposal

 

I very much appreciate and am excited about the possibility of trans-disciplinary conversations. In my experience I have found though that good intentions on all sides are not sufficient in order for such a conversation to fruitfully take place. In what follows I would like to do three things: 

1) describe the situation (what it seems to me normally happens in the attempt at trans-disciplinary conversations)

2) diagnose the situation (the reasons why the situation plays out in the way it does), and

Starting from "what happened here before"....

Gary Snyder begins a poem called “What Happened Here Before”:

— 300,000,000—
First a sea: soft sands, muds, and marls
— loading, compressing, heating, crumpling,
crushing, recrystallizing, infiltrating,
several times lifted and submerged,
intruding molten granite magma
deep-cooled and speckling,
gold quartz fills the cracks…

(and continues, quite a few stanzas later…)

—40,000—
And human people came with basket hats and nets
winter-houses and underground
yew bows painted green,
feasts and dances for the boys and girls

The Evolution of Learning

I was perusing NYT and found this great article on the evolution of learning.  I found it very interesting with relation to Dr. Grobstein's Biology 202 course last spring for several of my webpapers.
