Il Furore
19/03/2010
We voted, and now we have a furor. I would like to write a parody based upon what follows, but I have no time. Thus does my parody remain “unattempted in prose or rhyme.” Yet it is the weekend, and so we must sing. 1 Le donne, i cavallier, l’arme, gli amori, le cortesie, l’audaci … More Il Furore

Reading for Pleasure Wednesday: Dorothea Tanning
17/03/2010
If an expatriate is, as I believe, someone who never forgets for an instant being one, then, no.

Do you like to evaluate things? I really do not like evaluative activity to be required of me by commercial entities. I find invasive and coercive the calls one gets from supervisors at companies one has frequented in which one is asked to rate the courtesy level of one’s technician.

Academic Mondays: On Governance. Open Thread.
08/03/2010
In your department, do instructors (with MAs) have a vote that weighs as much as that of professorial faculty (with PhDs and graduate faculty status)? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this for the program? I am thinking of votes on issues such as curriculum. In one of my departments instructors vote on such … More Academic Mondays: On Governance. Open Thread.
