Featured Blogs from the Class of 2018


Ishani Khanna applied strong argumentative techniques in her last post, where she discussed the Massai People's indigenous ways of life, how they are changing, and how they apply to Wade Davis's discussion of our planet's shrinking "ethnosphere." She explores the value of Massai medicine as well as other traditions. Previous posts explore issues in religious knowledge and history, and both posts demonstrate facility with the language of the TOK course as well as interest in the situations she brings up.  Check it out at this link!





Lily Clurman produced some very interesting work by combining her interest in the arts with other subjects we reviewed. The image on the left is part of a collection of representations of religious sacrifice in the arts. The post shows connections expressions of sacrifice and the way the art reflects or expresses religious thinking in a variety of traditions. Another post investigates how photography as an art form can also become part of the historical record -- and an influencing feature of history itself. You can see her work at this link.
