Graduate Coursework
Although it may be an uncommon practice to post records of graduate coursework, I have done so both as an aid to memory and as a snapshot of disciplinary density and diffusion in this particular set of programs of study. Coursework was most rewarding in those moments when a coincident cluster of courses bore out generative serendipities. It was most challenging when the inquiry was too far reaching but nonetheless weighted so as to be consequential, an incidental zemblanity.
