C’est quoi qui m’a formée? Et si c’est tout? I have written these things down before, but in Spanish and more interestingly, in the style of Altazor (or so I imagined). But très rapidement, I created my research program when I was two or three. At that time I was acquiring language and noticing that … More Formatif
I think it is so foregrounded now because there is so little of it. In the past research was done in most undergraduate classes but now, instead, select undergraduates undertake supervised research projects while others do not learn research skills.

Jueves será, porque hoy, jueves, que proso estos versos, los húmeros me he puesto a la mala y, jamás como hoy, me he vuelto, … More Piedra negra sobre una piedra blanca

I am reorganizing my files. In my first computer I had a folder called jobmat, i.e. Job Materials, because I was a dissertator on the job market. It was for my vita and all materials for job applications. I had this folder for a long time, but it later morphed into two: one for annual … More Jobmat
I am again mortally offended, and it comes from another quarter. One cannot and should not defend against unfounded accusations, is what I have decided.
