The Maker Arts Space in VCAM houses an array of high-tech devices, such as a 3D printer, a laser cutter, and a 3D scanner, as well as lots of design software.

At a recent workshop, Bella Merchant BMC '21 and Rasaaq Shittu ‘23 helped make 3D-printed prosthetic hands with a member of E-Nable, an international volunteer organization that provides 3D-printed prosthetics to those in need. Photo: Kent Watson.

COOL CLASSES: “Modality and Language: Mandarin and ASL as Examples”

COOL CLASSES: “Modality and Language: Mandarin and ASL as Examples”

Co-taught by C.V. Starr Professor of Asian Studies and Associate Professor of Chinese and Linguistics Shizhe Huang and Swarthmore College Professor of Linguistics and Social Justice Donna Jo Napoli, this course explores five issues in which modality effects might be evidenced in Mandarin and American Sign Language. The class is experimental, with the professors and students forming and testing hypotheses against data.

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.
