MIT’s spring semester is now a memory, and summertime approaches. But OCW is still hard at work bringing you more free courseware. In fact, June is one of our busiest months of the year, as it marks the end of our spring publication cycle.

In the past 30 days, we’ve added ten new courses. Seven courses are brand new subjects on OCW, while three are updates to previously published courses.

You’ll find literary theory to bolster your summer beach reading; a historical perspective on American food, to ponder while packing a picnic; a timely treatment of the problems of mass violence and oppression; and of course more math, science, and business content for which MIT is widely renowned.
