Scope and Contents
Materials in this collection document Mark Larrimore's role as a Eugene Lang College professor and primarily consist of student work, readings compiled for students, and student publications, as well as ephemera advertising liberal arts courses and events.
Some files pre-date Larrimore's hiring and consist exclusively of photocopied materials. Larrimore compiled some of the files on specific topics, such as the "mobilization" of the mid-1990s surrounding activism centered on the hiring and tenure approval of faculty of color at The New School. Other materials, such as those labeled, "Reading NYC," and A Gender Diary, were collected by Larrimore but do not represent classes he taught. A Gender Diary is a digitally produced publication by Eugene Lang College faculty member Aleksandra Wagner, with contributions by Ann Snitow and students in Wagner's Fall 2009 class, "Identity and Social Theory." It was produced on the occasion of the symposium, No Longer in Exile: The Legacy and Future of Gender Studies at The New School, March 26-27, 2010.
Professor Larrimore's own research is not included here, nor is documentation from his role as Religious Studies Program Director.
