And here's a nice picture that my excellent student Brianna took. She was a student in my Concepts of the Self class in the fall and needed to take some pictures for a photography class and asked if she could visit my Islam class. It was a day when I asked the students to bring in their laptops so that we could discuss Umayyad and Abbasid art that I had collected in an Artstor folder. So here's a shot of me on bended knee talking to a group about Islamic art. Years ago I moved away from lecture almost entirely and instead always stress analysis of documentary evidence and classroom discussion. Even I get tired of listening to myself talk.
