ADAMS, Mass. — As a part of its Creative Leaders in Residence program, BArT welcomes welcome Dr. Stephon Alexander this week for a 3-day residency. 

 

Dr. Alexander, a professor of physics at Brown University, is a theoretical physicist and jazz musician specializing in cosmology, particle physics, and quantum gravity. During this time at BArT, he will be exploring the interconnections among music, mathematics, and nature with students.

 

On Thursday, May 18 at 6:30 PM, Dr. Alexander will deliver a public performance at the School as part of the "BArT Presents!" series. His presentation is titled, "From Hip Hop to the Cosmos."

 

In just the last few years, Creative Leaders to BART have given our students opportunity to work with award-winning poets, scientists, activists, and writers.

 

"An important element of BART's academic program is inviting leaders in human thought and creative expression to join our students," states Executive Director Dr. Jay White. "Whether discovering their voice in poetry or seeing how others express themselves in mathematics or spoken art, BART students are affected by their time with the guest Creative Leaders in Residence—and those individuals never fail to remark how their time with our students permanently affects them!"
