Dr. Elizabeth Macaulay Lewis and I submitted a course proposal to the Futures Initiative at the CUNY GRADUATE CENTER. This course proposal was accepted in Nov 2019 after competitive review. The course, titled: “Constructing History: Architecture and Alternative Histories of New York” (IDS 81630) will run in Spring 2021, co-taught by the two of us.
The Grad Center’s Futures Initiative Mission statement states: “The Futures Initiative advocates greater equity and innovation in higher education at every level of the university. Housed at the Graduate Center and reaching throughout the CUNY community, the Futures Initiative empowers the next generation of intellectual leaders with bold, public, and engaged teaching and learning. With an emphasis on student-centered practices, the Futures Initiative redefines graduate preparation to include translation of specialized research into the best undergraduate teaching, including for those from disadvantaged backgrounds.”
