The Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts began Thursday when The Rose Art Museum hosted a guided sketching tour, presented by SCRAM (the Student Committee for The Rose Art Museum), starting at 7 p.m. I was amazed by all the abstract paintings displayed on the walls, but what really struck me was one of […]
A few years ago, I became a Scholar at the Women’s Studies Research Center (WSRC) at Brandeis. My field is behavioral neuroscience, but I applied to carry out new research on gender issues in foster care, with particular emphasis on exemplary foster care by women.
