Introduction to Identity, Music, and Food in Creole Society

A partir de 54 $ /h

This course will explore the history and origins of Creole communities around the world.
Students will analyze these communities through the lens of identity, music, and food to better
understand the unique blend of African, European, Indigenous, and sometimes Asian cultures,
that formed a novel, “creole” society. While special focus will be given to French Creole
communities, students will also become acquainted with a broader definition of Creole that can
be applied to Hispanic, Anglophone Caribbean, and Dutch Caribbean territories. At the end of
this course, students will confidently recognize Creole communities worldwide and will be able
to explain the history of creolization.

Acerca de mí

Hi Everyone! My name is Mr. Marc. I am a high school biology teacher in New York City and a rising M1 medical student.
I have been in education as a tutor, teaching assistant, and now teacher for the past 10 years.
My expertise is in French language & linguistics, Creole studies, and biomedical sciences. While I teach biology in the class, I have also been a private French instructor for the past 5 years. As someone from a Creole family from Louisiana, I did not grow up hearing much French. But it was always an important part of me. I started learning French as a child, and now I speak it fluently. I love teaching people my language. I also love teaching people about the Creolized communities that I grew up around. Please do not hesitate to reach out for any questions!

Intro to Pharmacology: Advanced Biology Course for individuals interested in MD/DO, pharmacy, or PHD

60 $ /h

In this class, I will present an introduction to pharmacology. As a former alcohol and cannabis researcher, I had to learn a lot about what substances commonly referred as drugs are AND what they do to the body. In this course, we will study major drug classes. We will read some of the latest literature on these drug classes. We will also explore how pharmacological studies could help inform public health legislation.

** We will have to purchase the textbook out of pocket, but we might be able to get a PDF**

I offer Social Sciences and qualitative research classes for university students in all levels. I have experience teaching and mentoring students at different levels of their academic formation. From classic social studies, to the most recent theoretical developments in Anthropology, Sociology, Political Sciences or History, I can guide you through the intricacies of social thought and research in a clear, motivated and exciting way.

Who am I?
A committed social scientist, MA and Ph.D in Anthropology, completed 4yrs post-Ph.D in political anthropology. I have conducted four different research projects, all of them focusing in southern African communities and dealing with an array of distinct topics (religious syncretism; memory and identity; local and state politics; literary practices; history making; power and authority). During my studies I have built a very consistent and broad theoretical and ethnographic knowledge, particularly, but not only, when it comes to the interdisciplinary field of African studies (a complex literature in which I feel very comfortable and able to navigate with full proficiency). I am a very experienced researcher (with more than 3 years of fieldwork experience in southern Africa), acquainted with all kinds of qualitative methods, from interviews, ritual analysis, archival work and social media research. I have much experience writing, assessing and tutoring research projects; peer-reviewing academic papers (including American Anthropology, Caderno de Estudos Africanos, among others); participating in thesis commission board; and as a university professor. Mentoring and teaching is truly my passion, and with a very consistent and mature knowledge of the literature you can expect a most precise, competent assistance.

How do I work?
* You have a specific topic to unravel: we will go to the button of it through an interdisciplinary genealogy of concepts and an attentive look to their uses in concrete situations.

* You have an ongoing/finished paper: I will proofread your paper and offer you a logic schematics of your central argument. The idea is to first pull you out of the hurricane to identify its trajectory, and then push you back at its peaceful centre, were we can polish your ideas, cleaning unnecessary digressions and adding relevant data and literature.

* You have/need a research project: I will read and comment your project in case you already have one and offer you with a schematic of the literature related with your topic so that we can identify relevant gaps in the literature. After doing that, we will consider your objectives and consider through pertinent questions for your research.

* You are writing a thesis: I will first go through your research project and cross-check with you the actual results of your research. Once we have done that, we will analyse the nature and quality of your data, the span of the literature covered, chapters you might have already written, and, of course, the issues that excites you most. The idea is to identify where your strength is and what can be done do reinforce your arguments (more research, if possible; or literature review, if necessary). All this will be done with organizational support, helping you plan and schedule your writing with confidence, grace and, most importantly, no suffering!

Practical Creole course intended for those who wish to live/visit Haiti. The focus will be on conversation and learning everyday, useful and simple expressions. Our methodology will be based on the following three (3) pillars: Observation - Repetition - Application.
Observation: the use of images/videos will be there
Repetition: the learner will be able to internalize what he/she has observed thanks to repetition
Application: the learner will have the necessary tools and frameworks to be able to apply the knowledge acquired during the course.

The facilitator of this course has more than 5 years of experience and has taught Creole to a multicultural audience in Asia, America and Europe. So, don’t hesitate to come learn or perfect your Creole with us.

En este curso recuperamos los estudios sociales de la infancia con el fin de analizar y poner en tensión las categorías hegemónicas de niñez, género y cuidado y así poder pensar en el cuidado de niñeces y adolescencias trans o no binaries dentro de la familia.
Empezaremos indagando antropológicamente sobre la construcción de estas categorías en el imaginario social reconociendo que estas no son universales y estables si no culturales, cambiantes y contingentes.
De esta forma nos proponemos, por un lado, comprender la variabilidad de significados en torno a la concepción de infancia. Por otra parte, será fundamental comprender la centralidad que representa la identidad de género en la vida de los seres humanos en la sociedad occidental. De esta forma, al comprender la infancia de otra manera, podremos desnaturalizar también las prácticas de cuidado tradicionales para así poder introducir otras pedagogías, otras perspectivas en nuestro imaginario.

Existen muchas disciplinas en el área de las ciencias sociales que se enfocan en estudiar aspectos determinados de las relaciones sociales, algunas de ellas son la antropología social, las ciencias políticas, las ciencias de la comunicación, las relaciones internacionales, y la psicología social.

Al enseñar Ciencias Sociales nos proponemos, entonces, que los chicos y las chicas avancen hacia la construcción de un conocimiento más amplio acerca de la realidad social; para ello es necesario hacer hincapié en las acciones de los sociales, diversos actores sociales en el pasado y en el presente.

Se encuentran aquellas ramas y disciplinas que se interesan en conocer la realidad humana y el comportamiento de los miembros de las sociedades, así como la evolución de las mismas a lo largo del tiempo.

Ciao, I am Desi and I’ve been teaching Italian as a foreign language since 1988. I was born in Trento, in northern Italy, and over the years I’ve lived in Brazil, Sardegna, and now in a small village in Abruzzo. I have a degree in Italian Language and Culture for Foreigners and I’m a certified Italian teacher (DILS-PG, University of Perugia).
I’m a patient and understanding teacher, and I love introducing students to Italy beyond the usual stereotypes.
