Jerry Philogene

I really liked Prof. Philogene! She was very kind, helpful, and enthusiastic. She is a little bit all over the place, but she's always happy to clarify and super accommodating. Her office hours are awesome, especially if you need help with a paper (but she also loves to just chat). I don't think she's a difficult grader, although it took a while to get work back. There is a lot of reading and several papers, but no exam. We also each had to lead class once throughout the semester. The classroom environment Prof. Philogene fostered was the most friendly and supportive of any class I've had at Middlebury. I would highly recommend this class and this professor.

I really enjoyed this Black Studies course because it provided a broad look at Black history, culture, and experiences. The class encouraged thoughtful discussions and helped me understand different perspectives and important topics that are often overlooked. Prospective students should be prepared to participate, think critically, and engage with the material, but overall, it was a valuable and interesting course.

Professor Philogene is extremely enthusiastic and has a fun teaching style. Class is discussion-based, with no exams, and 3 essays due throughout the course. I would love to take another class with her!
