This is a proposed honors project in a 6th semester (if semester 1 is Spanish 1, and students do not take accelerated or summer courses) introduction to Cultural Studies for the Hispanic world. Professor Zero’s reaction to the proposal was stated more politely but it was, “That is not science!” Student did not understand and … More Problem research
Is Cave’s a serious reading of Lorca, “Teoría y juego del duende”? Or rephrasing: Cave is dead serious about what he is saying and passionate about Lorca, so yes it is a serious reading at that level. How interesting is this reading, though, from the point of view of someone well read in Lorca and … More A research project too advanced for my students
In the fall, I teach to the language requirement and give a senior/graduate seminar that is in field for me but never for the students, so everything is a struggle. In the spring I teach intermediate and slightly advanced undergraduate courses, mostly out of field. It feels like curating a culture museum. Today we among … More Spring Culture Museum
This is what my clique from junior high school has done. Two of us, including one servidora, were tracked to Ivies, two to state R1s, and one to the CSU system. Tracked to Ivies: went to state R1 that was public Ivy. 1 Ph.D. obscure professor, 1 B.B.A. worked, married, dropped out, raised family, is … More Et les amis de votre génération?

Have you ever taken the DLAB or a similar test? I would be very curious to see how I would score. Can I take such a test without joining the military? I would rather do this than have my DNA analyzed. Axé.
People talk about liberating themselves by recycling their paper files, but what about computer files? It is not just that I have half of mine in one cloud and half in the other. It is that several times, due to computer emergencies, I have transferred files chaotically over the years. For example: within Dropbox there … More On files
The reason this is a nice semester is that I do not have any freshmen. Even in my most basic course, which is the last course to the language requirement, 50% of the students intend to continue further and so are not trying to stall on work, but want to make progress so they can … More Do fields have temperaments?
Not to be deterred, I now have this program working in Windows. It is for novel writing, not academic writing, I can tell fairly well. What do you use it for? Shedding Khawatir uses it for all research but I am not yet sure how. What do you use beyond a word processor, file folders … More Scrivener
