Response to PHS student

I feel as though you

I feel as though you shouldn't have to pay for a role in society , nor should you have to be certified in order to be successful. Why should you have to be certified in order to be successful? Just because you have a piece of paper that says your certified for something doesn't make you smarter then another person in society that knows the same subject that you majored in. It just means that you had the chance to further your education because you had the funds or nothing to hold you back from receiving your education, unlike most people in our generations these days because of the debts we are in as a nation and the choices we are forced to make by our government . So that stops most middle class families from furthering their educations, and then it continues as a repeating process. But if we all had the chance to show to the world that we are all actually smart without being certified by a piece of paper(college diploma),then society would hopefully consider giving every one the equal opportunity to achieve any career we choose to. But it just takes time, one extra voice just make our fight against society stronger. (Posting)

Boundary Issues?

Given the conversations we had this week (and the papers you are now busily writing!) about "domestic" and "intellectual" spaces @ Bryn Mawr (how separate are they, and should they be?) I was interested in this article, in today's Chronicle of Higher Education, about how students push their facebook use further into course work.

What is Posse?

Hi everyone,

I feel like Posse has been brought up a few times and maybe not fully explained.  Here is a blog Jomaira wrote about Posse, but if you have any questions, please feel free to ask Jomaira or me!

Comparing Offices

As inspiration for your postings, this weekend, about space on campus, I thought you might enjoy
(I might invite here) a comparative analysis of my office and Jody's, thinking about....
size
location (in the center of campus? peripheral?)
public or private (how open? how closed?)
what else???
