The team-taught Humanities Sequence, “Interdisciplinary Approaches to Western Culture,” was recently featured in a special Princeton Reunions #TellUsTigers post.
In the story, Alicia Adams ’00 recounts her own experiences at Princeton, as well as conversations with her daughter Mackynzi Adams ’28, who took the Humanities Sequence in 2024-25. Mackynzi was featured in a University homepage story about Princeton’s new Humanities Initiative, alongside her professor Esther Schor (English), chair of the Humanities Council.
“Given Mackynzi’s love of history, literature, classics, philosophy and language, the Humanities Sequence seemed tailor-made for her,” the post read. “I fell in love with history and literature at Princeton, so it has been exciting for me to have lively conversations with Mackynzi about some of her favorite readings, including Dante’s ‘Divine Comedy,’ Dostoevsky’s ‘Notes from the Underground,’ Ovid’s ‘Metamorphoses,’ Toni Morrison’s ‘Beloved’ and many more, and to hear her recount professors’ lectures, trips to New York to visit [the Met] and forays into the [Princeton University Library’s] Special Collections.”
