By Judith Schwartzstein, Director of Public Affairs, Sarah Lawrence College
Jan. 13, 2016: The Friends of the Sarah Lawrence College Library presents its 2016 mini-courses January 13 to 15.
The two three-day mini-courses with Sarah Lawrence professors are: Bond and Beyond, an exploration of the image of the spy in the popular imagination during the 40-year struggle of the Cold War, and The Art of Interpretation, a discussion of how performers of classical music translate the notes on the page into a unique experience for the audience.
Both mini-courses take place in the Marshall Field music building on the campus of the college.
Bond and Beyond will be taught by Jefferson Adams, history professor and the Adda B. Bozeman Chair in International Relations, from 10:00 am to noon. Martin Goldray, Marjorie Leff Miller Faculty Scholar in Music, will present The Art of Interpretation from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
Membership in the Friends of the Library is required. As a special opportunity, half-year membership for the remainder of this academic year is available for $30 per individual and $50 per household of two.
In addition to the mini-courses this semester, Jerrilynn Dodds, art history faculty and former dean of the college, will present "The Arts in Cuba" as the first lecture in the new program Coffee with the Professor. The lecture will be held on Friday, April 8, from 9:30 am to 11:00 am in the Slonim Living Room. Professor Dodds will discuss the Cuban art scene based on impressions from travels and research in Cuba during the past fifteen years.
