    Capturing Communities in Words and Images: From Hasids to Hip-Hop, from Bedouins to the Brooklyn Boardwalk, is a weblog/online gallery produced by the students in the Feit Interdisiplinary Seminar taught by Roslyn Bernstein (Journalism and The Writing Professions) and Fran Antmann (Fine and Performing Arts) at Baruch College during the Fall 2008 semester. It features photographs and commentary produced by the students over the course of their study of New York City communities.
  • ART 3041: Special Topics, Digital Imaging, taught by Professor Zoe Sheehan of the Fine and Performing Arts Department, features a rotating header that displays the work of students, who also use the weblog to share and discuss design.


  • The Baruch College Teaching blog is administered by Leah Schanke, the Training and Development Specialist in the Office of Human Resources, and is the brainchild of Associate Provost Dennis Slavin. This blog operates from the belief that it is important for colleges to provide spaces for faculty to discuss teaching, to share ideas with and challenge one another, and to collectively reflect upon the state of higher education.
