Undergraduate Scholar Project. Alex Samely is participating in a pilot project for undergraduate teaching in the School of Arts Languages and Cultures. The Undergraduate Scholars Project encourages students to engage in (non-credit) funded research and writing on a variety of over-arching themes. Alex will direct students on the theme of 'How the Story of Our Words Informs and Distorts Present Knowledge' as they explore the history of concepts that appear in documents such as political manifestos, government policy papers and official reports. Teaching excellence, as reflected by high student satisfaction and teaching awards, is central to the departmental ethos.
