Journalism & Fake News

How should the media cover Donald Trump? How did the Internet, the 24- hour news cycle and polarization change the nature of journalism and lead to an era of “Fake News” accusations in which Americans exposed to different sources came away with different facts? This class studies the impact and consequences of today's digital and partisan media -- how to consume it and how to write for it. What is truth? What happens to democracy when Americans can’t agree on facts? Against the backdrop of the 2024 campaign, students examine how journalism arrived here and where it goes next.

Children's Literature

Shapes speak to people. Prose shapes people. From the picture book to the chapter book, this course explores the ways in which literature for children invents the child reading that literature. The course attempts to break through the natural nostalgia for works students know to rediscover their innovative and experimental nature. In so doing, students see these works work their magic on themes that become familiar throughout the semester: identity, nostalgia, interiors and exteriors, authority, independence and dependence, and the nature of wild things.

Outdoor Rock Climbing

Outdoor rock climbing is designed to give students experience outdoors on natural rock faces with an emphasis on risk management, outdoor climbing technique, and outdoor-specific rope systems. Students will walk away from this course with the skills to be a confident "second" in outdoor climbing spaces. We will climb at local, outdoor locations. will spend time at the Hampshire rock wall and local rock climbing gyms with the goal of becoming more efficient climbers.

Trail Maintenance& Restoration
