History of Hip-Hop Course; Indian Dance Teacher at Duke

Welcome to the week at Duke in 60 seconds. Visiting artist Mythili Prakash has spent part of the semester sharing a South Indian dance form with Duke students. The Duke Dance Program will perform her choreography at its concerts on April 14th and 15th. Being aware that you might actually be wrong is a quality researchers call ‘intellectual humility.’ Duke scientists suggest that a person could be taught this trait, which could influence politics and business in particular. Each year, Duke professor Mark Anthony Neal teams up with Grammy Award-winning producer 9th Wonder to teach a class on the history of hip-hop. The teaching duo invites other artists and thinkers as guest speakers for the class and the public is welcome to sit in on the class as well. Finally, this month Durham middle schoolers got a series of visits from Duke Neurology residents and physician assistants. The lessons focused on teaching kids about seizures and epilepsy.
