Today we're celebrating another Levitan Teaching Award winner, @history_mit professor Hiromu Nagahara.

"I look back at my final paper for the class as one of my proudest works in undergrad," says one of Nagahara's students, "despite being written in my first year, because it was my first experience writing a gargantuan history paper (6,000 words!) and listening to sources in multiple languages, and it introduced me to a whole lot of different methodologies."

A showcase of final works from students in 21A.513 (Drawing Human Experience) is now on display in the @mit_museum_studio and Compton Gallery (10-150). The course is offered each spring by @mit_anthropology and is co-taught in the MIT Museum Studio.

Equal parts studio and seminar, the class introduces fundamental drawing techniques and their application as tools of anthropological inquiry. To learn more about the class, visit the link in our bio. @artsatmit

In today's Levitan Teaching Award winner spotlight, we highlight Andreas Karatsolis, a Senior Lecturer in @mit_cmsw and Director of the Writing, Rhetoric, and Professional Communication (WRAP) program.

"Rather than simply grading a final draft or a polished performance, he created structured opportunities for peer review at exactly the right moment," a student nominator says.

Artificial intelligence is transforming society in fundamental ways. How do we ensure AI is acting in our interests? What does it mean for AI to reflect our values and to act rationally?

Caspar Hare, professor of @mit_philosophy, discusses how philosophers and computer scientists are working together at MIT to address these complex issues.

Dwai Banerjee, an associate professor in the Program in Science, Technology, and Society (@sts_at_mit), wrote the book “Computing in the Age of Decolonization: India’s Lost Technological Revolution,” an examination of the visionaries who wanted to turn India into a world power at making computers. “This book is about understanding how the current landscape of technological power came to be and the unequal way in which power is distributed across the world when it comes to anything to do with computing,” Banerjee says.
