This talk was really interesting and Dr. Roberts brought up some really interesting points. The part about couch surfing was really cool, especially when they get into how the website evolved from a place where no identifying information was shared (since there was no demand for it— the user base was pretty much entirely techbros,… Read more Intersectionality Talks Reflection

My favorite project that I did this semester was definitely the first one. I did an unessay, and I’ve never actually done something creative like that (although mine wasn’t really insanely creative— it was kinda just a short creative writing piece with an essay attached). I wrote “olunde’s missing letter” to elesin, and basically argued… Read more reflection

My favorite project that someone else completed this semester was Erik Dow’s “My home made Japanese Noh-mask”. In the post, Erik talks about how theatre is something that they really like, but most of their experience with theatre is from a western perspective. Throughout the semester, I think the whole notion of challenging the western… Read more reflection
My Favorite Project of Mine
My favorite project I did this semester was my second unessay book cover. I’ve done many essays and unessays over the course of my college career but I usually just use the format to make a somewhat more informal essay. This time I wanted to do something more creative and artistic and focus on something… Read more My Favorite Project of Mine
Final Project Reflection for Amijima
When I read Love Suicide at Amijima, I found myself reflecting on how suicide is represented in films. Suicide can be complicated when it comes to representation because of how tender the topic is. But usually a story is more engaging when the material is more intense. Are Jihei and Koharu trying to escape their… Read more Final Project Reflection for Amijima

I really enjoyed watching this talk with Candice Roberts and really loved their long and thoughtful responses, the talk seemed to fly by. I really loved Candice’s stories about couch surfing and how the platform has evolved because I had never heard of it before. I was very intrigued by the platform in a lot… Read more Intersectionality Talks Reflection

Each and everyone post I have read or posted have been greatly beneficial for my intellectual learning whether written by myself or my classmates. However, my favorite was the first project we did. I chose to… Read more Reflection
Final Post — My Favorite Project
My favorite project I completed this semester is definitely Chikamatsu Simplified. While I was really proud of my designs for Death and The King’s Horseman, I feel like the video was a bit easier and more fun to make. However, both projects allowed me to express my creativity in different ways. I’m overall just more… Read more Final Post — My Favorite Project
final reflection post
For my final reflection I wanted to talk about my own project, and I think my first project is my favorite. As I’m typing this reflection, I realized both my projects use poetry in a way. For my first project I used haikus as a form of literature and created 4 haiku poems to represent… Read more final reflection post
Final Reflection Post
I think everyone did thorough unessays/essays and I really enjoyed the class content as a whole for the first project. My favorite of the projects, however, was Kayla’s “hypothetical” production of Death and the King’s Horsemen. I don’t know the first thing about play productions but it is evident that she put a lot of… Read more Final Reflection Post
