What is a Senior Research Project?

At BASIS Tucson, seniors have the chance to propose an independent research project that takes place off campus during the last trimester of the year. The seniors whose proposals are accepted write their own syllabi and then head off into the world, to a site where they conduct their research while interning with a professional in the field. Those of us stuck on campus follow their adventures on this blog. Now that the projects are over, we are all excited to attend their presentations. The schedule is as follows:

Wednesday, May 11, 6-8 PM
at the U of A Poetry Center (environmentalism projects)
Sierra Cordova, Nicole Rapatan, Zobella Vinik and Dany Joumaa (see titles of projects, below)

Saturday, May 14, 10-12 AM
at The Loft Cinema (arts projects)
Clarice Bales, Samone Isom, Josh Waterman and Angelynn Khoo (see titles of projects, below)

Monday, May 16, 6-8 PM
at BioSciences West, Rm. 310, U of A ( U of A projects)
Joseph Tang, Jayanth Ganesan, Andrew Graham and Gabriel Carranza (see titles of projects, below)

Tuesday, May 17, 6-8 PM
at U of A McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship, Blg. MCLND, rm. 207 (travel abroad projects)

I Erase Books

oh no! Not book erasing! But yes. When pages are printed (especially on our tempermental printer Bertha), often there are extra splotches of ink in the form of ghosting or little marks. Ghosting is the lighter image of words right next to their double. ghosting. So, I spent a good three hours with a white eraser, making said errors disappear or at least fade. But that left my mind free, so I could talk with my fellows! And the convorsations that we get into are so refreshing and deep (frivilous at times as well) and just great. Like the misconceptions that surround feminism. Since Kore Press is feminist, the definition of feminism is close to everyone's hearts. And, in its most basic form, the form that my collegues (and I, I think) embrace is that women should have equal opportunities with men. Sure there are crazy man-hating feminists, but that is not an accurate representation about all feminists. And I sewed together some chapbooks! Making a bunch of folded pages into a book! Cool stuff. I'm chugging right along in my own short story that I'm going to make into a chapbook for my final project. How does the title "Seperated Wars" sound? ~Samone
