Sarah T. Schwab’s Experience
-
Student
New York University
(Educational Institution; 10,001 or more employees; Higher Education industry)
August 2009 — Present (4 months)
I was accepted into the John W. Draper Program Interdisciplinary MA program in Humanities and Social thought - a program that offers a broad interdisciplinary curriculum founded on the belief that many issues in the humanities and social sciences are most fruitfully explored through cross-disciplinary approaches. Accommodating methods and subject matter from varied modes of inquiry, the Program combines curricular flexibility with scholarly rigor.
I will be concentrating my studies on creative writing, art history and journalism in the hopes of writing a novel-sized fiction piece that considers past and present aesthetic belief systems that figuratively and literally "kill" women. -
