Bard’s extraordinary faculty are dedicated to the philosophy of teaching. Today and throughout Bard’s history, members of the faculty have effected change in medicine, the arts and letters, international affairs, journalism, scientific research, and education, among other endeavors. These distinguished scholars are advisers as well as instructors: Bard has no graduate teaching assistants. And the average class size of 16 in the Lower College and 12 in the Upper College allows for intimate discussions and one-on-one interaction.

“What brought me to Bard, in a word, was the faculty.”

“To work with Joan Tower, George Tsontakis, and James Bagwell was an opportunity I couldn’t miss. I had long followed and admired their work, and then I found out that each of them taught here. It’s easy for musicians to focus only on music, whereas I wanted to have a broader education that would prepare me for a world that requires a more well-rounded base of knowledge and experience.”

—David Bloom ’13, BA in music with a concentration in composition and conducting, and MMus ’15 in conducting

Review: Writer in Residence Mona Simpson’s “Stunning” New Novel about a Family and Mental Illness
Acclaimed novelist and Bard writer in residence Mona Simpson this week published her seventh novel, Commitment (Knopf).

In her seventh novel, she doesn’t revisit this territory so much as animate it anew.” (Kirkus) Commitment is one of Kirkus’s 20 Best Books to Read in March. More >
Professor Joshua Glick Talks about AI in Hollywood on Marketplace Tech
Visiting Associate Professor of Film and Electronic Arts Joshua Glick spoke with Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino about the manifold ways Hollywood employs artificial intelligence including de-aging star characters, creating synthetic voices, generating digital faces and imagery of crowds, and even using deepfake technology in documentaries to protect vulnerable onscreen subjects. AI’s entree into filmmaking spurs anxiety that it could supplant human creative labor like screenwriting, designing, and directing. “New tools and new technologies have always sustained a productive tension or creative tension with the status quo of the industry," said Glick.
