Shared experiences, and real-world situations, promote learning across spaces and disciplines

As part of Kisha Daniel’s Critical Pedagogy of Hip Hop class, students worked with sixth graders at Neal Middle School in Durham to create hip hop songs. Junior Bianca Ingram, center, coaches Alia Montañez, 12, on vocabulary and lyrics.
Duke’s spring 2024 semester is almost in the books. Here is a photo and video essay offering a peek inside Duke classrooms – although in some cases, classes were outdoors or off campus entirely.
In one course, students helped sixth graders in a Durham middle school with their vocabulary through hip hop lyrics, while in another, in front of the Chapel, students competed in a race with robots they built. Scenes from an acting class show how students explore human connection through movement.
Altogether, the images show a range of spaces and disciplines.
