As you know, Core is more than a set of classes\u2014it is also a community, whose members are the students, faculty, and alumni that have all shared experiences in and outside of those classrooms. One of the things that happens in a community is that people stay in touch. In keeping with this, we\u2019re going to be posting updates of recent news sent in to us by students, alumni, and instructors: announcements of new jobs or marriages, interesting trips, recent accomplishments, and current projects.<\/p>\n
And if you\u2019d like to send in an update to share with the Core community, please drop us a line at core@bu.edu<\/a>. We\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n Novruz Javadov,<\/strong> the RA of the Core House<\/a>, personally welcomes all the freshmen on campus. He writes: “The Core House has been pretty lively so far! There is a rumor going around about a regular evening dance work-out happening in the common room; I guess we are exercising more than our essay-writing and critical thinking skills.”<\/p>\n Professor Sassan Tabatabai<\/strong><\/a>, who is the head of the Persian Language Program, is currently working on a translation of Sufi, Persian, and Mystical Poetry. His recent translations were translated from the Persian works of Jalal al-Din Rumi, Ja\u2019far ibn Mohammad Rudaki<\/a>, and Mohammad-Reza Shafi-Kadkani. [By the way… did you know you can preview Prof. Tabatabai’s collection of poetry,\u00a0Uzunburun<\/em>, on Amazon<\/a>?]<\/p>\n Frances Gossen<\/strong>, an editor of campus magazine Clarion<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and Core\u00a0office assistant, is now on study abroad in London. She reports that earlier this month she paid a visit, for the first time, to the Netherlands. There, she made her way through the beautiful canals, and visited the Rijksmuseum<\/a>, dedicated to the art and the history of Amsterdam.<\/p>\n Professor Kyna Hamill<\/strong><\/a> is now editing a collection of essays on the intersections of theater and war. The work will be a thematic addition to her previous book, They Fight: Classical to Contemporary Stage Fight Scenes<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As you know, Core is more than a set of classes\u2014it is also a community, whose members are the students, faculty, and alumni that have all shared experiences in and outside of those classrooms.
