15Sep09

Continuing my period of blog introspection…
When I studied in Oman in 2006 we “kept our eyes out for”  cultural differences – this is probably due in large part to the fact that our faculty leader was a Sociology prof. We did numerous ethnography assignments before departing and while we were there I was on the [...]

16Jun09

Busy busy busy…that’s me! I like it! I mean, I went about a month without being busy at all and it was a tough transition. Still, sloth-like qualities run deep in my genetic makeup, so lounging around in my yoga pants waiting for my job to start was no big deal.

Students are protesting at Sciences Po…200 university students from all over Paris, deriding the elitism of higher French education, barricaded themselves in “the richest of them all”
