What happens when creativity meets history? ✨

Students in our Fall 2026 course, Ways of Making: Creativity & Constraints, had the opportunity to explore the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Duke University with Caitlin Margaret Kelly, Curator of the Archive of Documentary Arts.

From rare books to archival collections, students got an introduction to the materials preserved in Duke’s collections and learned how to access and work with these unique resources as part of their creative and intellectual practice.

Because sometimes, the best ideas begin with discovering something extraordinary that already exists. 📚

GLS ON THE TRAIL 🌲

Last Saturday, our GLS community headed to Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area for our welcome hike. It was such a great way to meet new faces, catch up along the shaded trails, and kick off the fall semester feeling completely refreshed and recharged. 🥾✨

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us! Stay tuned for more outdoor adventures and community events this fall. 🍂⛰️

Does greatness make it right?

What do we lose when cultural heritage is removed from the places and communities it comes from?

GLS student Yiwa Deng explores this question in her new piece for the Duke Human Rights Center, reflecting on museums, cultural heritage, art, and what happens when absence itself becomes normalized.

Read Yiwa’s piece, “Does Greatness Make It Right? The Cost of Universal Museums,” at the link in our bio.
