Decolonizing During a Pandemic

Anna Tsouhlarakis’s new exhibit at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College uses a Minimalist approach to Indigenize contemporary art. “Minimalism has always been connected with white men. This is a fiction that Western art historians and critics have led the world to believe. But so much of Indigenous art utilizes the framework of what we know as Minimalism and I believe this is why I have always been drawn to it.”

Featured Courses

Education

ED311 - Educational Psychology

In this course, we explore the intersection of developmental psychology and learning theories from early childhood through adolescence. The focus is on understanding what developmental milestones facilitate learning, how people learn, and what teachers do to cultivate students' cognitive and social skills.
Religion

RE261 - Women and Goddesses in Hinduism

A study of women and goddesses in Hinduism focused on Sītā. After identifying how and why Sītā is idealized, we consider critiques of gender ideology, reflecting on women's internalization of and resistance to Sītā. Students also participate in the tradition of the Rāmāyaṇa by composing their own re-tellings of select episodes.
Human Biology & Kinesiology

HK330 - Exercise Physiology

HK330 explores the effects of acute and chronic physical activity on some of the major systems of the body. Discussion topics will include principles of physiological adaptation, cellular bioenergetics and the application to whole body exercise, and the effects of physical activity/exercise on major systems of the body.

AS110 - Afrofuturism

In AS110, we explore Afrofuturism as a multi-generational project of Afrocentric world-building; investigating Afro-diasporic cultural production in the long duree of African contact with (and forced existence within) settler-colonial nations. Students respond to three themes: Afro-Cosmology, Afro-Modernity, and Afrofuturism.
