Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Bodies: A Digital Companion aims to provide a thoughtfully curated introduction to the interdisciplinary field of Body Studies in ways that both incorporate and challenge our students to rethink their own online practices. It facilitates an immersive, substantive academic experience by marrying key concepts with important texts, historical and cultural context, and media artifacts of all types. These materials set the stage for studying multiple, intersecting, interdisciplinary approaches to bodies.
