Monday was a great introduction to what our Teagle Seminar is going to be all about.\u00a0 Sunday evening, the students read \u2018On Being Brought From Africa<\/a>\u2019 by Phillis Wheatley and the Declaration of Independence<\/a> by Thomas Jefferson.\u00a0 On Monday morning, they attended a lecture led by Professors Johnson and Mealy, which presented them with relevant context and subtext for the two documents and allowed them to develop new ways of thinking about the motivations Wheatley and Jefferson may have had while writing.\u00a0 After a quick snack break, the students broke into groups to discuss the readings in a more in-depth manner.<\/p>\n

Students in Denny Hall 317 during Context Lecture<\/p><\/div>\n

Spirited discussion led to lunchtime in Dickinson\u2019s dining hall, and after lunch was Professor Pinsker\u2019s Close Reading Workshop, during which the professor checked in on how the students were settling into the dorm before discussing how their upcoming assignments should be completed.\u00a0 After that workshop, the students who wished to attend the Kline Fitness Center completed a short orientation before touching base briefly at the High Street residence.\u00a0 Our final activity before dinner was a tour of campus, and along the way we traveled through Rector (one of the science-focused buildings on campus), the HUB (a central building which houses the dining hall, bookstore, and juice-bar, among other resources), and the library.\u00a0 The students ended the day back at the dorm, hanging out and reading tomorrow’s source materials. \u00a0It was a busy and fun first day, and we can\u2019t wait to see what the rest of the week brings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
