But Riley said courses must be explicitly designed around ABL to avoid a “mis-educative” disconnect. Also speaking was Anya Bernstein, the director of undergraduate studies in Social Studies, who said she supports the formation of a FAS committee to further develop ABL in the curriculum. Several undergraduates who spoke at the event offered glowing personal accounts...
