Students in the fall 2020 course “Language to Be Looked At” examined modernist and avant-garde experiments in word and image, including engaging with Princeton University Library (PUL) s Special Collections. For the final assignment, students were asked to identify gaps in PUL s concrete poetry collections particularly works by women, gender nonconforming, Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Asian artists and make acquisition recommendations. After the course ended, PUL acquired all the recommendations that were available for purchase in support of its goal to expand collections to reflect historically underrepresented groups.
