Why should we value the arts?
The Spirit of Engagement | a liberal education
https://aliberaleducation.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/the-spirit-of-engagement
Why should we value the arts? The Spirit of Engagement. Just after New Year I picked up an old copy of John Berger’s. In my local Bookshop/Cafe. A place where a cup of coffee inevitably ends up costing 6, because it always involves me buying a couple of books.). Second essay, “The Suit and the Photograph”, and flicked back through the photographs, I wondered at the precision of Berger’s opening question: “What did August Sander tell his sitters before he took their pictures? I hope, as the year spreads o...
Paying for contempt | a liberal education
https://aliberaleducation.wordpress.com/2010/10/20/paying-for-contempt
Why should we value the arts? The most telling indicator of the new government’s attitude seems to be found in the policies emerging from the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills. The previously cuddly Vince Cable has transformed himself into a hatchet man for a group of privately educated men, indoctrinated into a world of entitlement where there is, perhaps through no fault of their own, a gaping chasm between ‘them’ and ‘us’. Government spending in education should help ensure that processes ...
Education is a privilege not a right | a liberal education
https://aliberaleducation.wordpress.com/2010/12/21/education-is-a-privilege-not-a-right
Why should we value the arts? Education is a privilege not a right. Two weeks ago, as I walked across campus to get a cup of coffee after teaching a class to some pretty poorly prepared students, I was accosted by a student protestor whose rallying cry began with the claim that education is a right not a privilege. Beyond the problems associated with making normative claims about the value of education, there are pedagogical problems associated with framing education as an inalienable right. In such a mo...

A Conservative Liberal
I intend to write here what I think and what I learn. Most of what I write here will be about politics. Sunday, October 14, 2007. Why are less people going to Church? Less people are going to Church in America because we have still not completely healed from the counter culture movement of the 60's. I'm not blaming the counter culture alone though. This broke the heart of many a good person and sinister elements did what they could then and now to keep people away from God (any God). The fair trade table.
A Liberal Dose
Still fighting the good fight. Friday, April 23, 2010. Youtube is the greatest thing since. To anyone that remembers the craptacular series that would not end, there were exactly two reasons to watch "Dallas", to wit:. And Me Oh My. Otherwise, the show was generally the same ubiquitous spamtricious fare served across the spectrum to this very day. That said, it was interesting to come across a video of the show's finale. Which I never had the patience to reach. Seriously, seriously twisted:. Close your e...

A Liberal Dose of Sand From the Beach
A Liberal Dose of Sand From the Beach. Monday, April 5, 2010. This is the time of year. When spring arrives and trees leaf out. The grass begins to grow and blossoms open. And the yard needs attention and I want to be outside. Enjoying the pleasant weather after a hard winter. And I’d rather not spend time at my computer. Writing poems and stories about war. And then I remember…. You weren’t in Kansas anymore. Sometimes I feel a chill. Running up and down along my spine. And then I remember…. Knowing tha...

Fitts-Heynes Abroad
Fall in Athens, Spring in Oviedo- what could be better? Wednesday, June 22, 2011. There and Back Again. Our main target was the tribute to "Labor" in the Parque San Francisco, on Uria, the main street, a statue that looked uncannily like a monument to disco. Of course, we had to do some participatory poses, like the girls raisin' the roof here. Our very first stop was in our neighborhood, Annabel hanging out with the sidra. Pourers, and then Annabel and I posed with the photograper's shop. We didn't take...

A Liberal Girl in Austin
A Liberal Girl in Austin. Friday, January 16, 2009. Moms and Other Unappreciated Heroes. My mother is not perfect, nor is any mother. However, the sacrifices she has made and continues to make should overshadow any insignificant flaw she might have. I still have a difficult time showing her just how much I appreciate her, but I hope she knows that I do see all that she has given up so that her children could have a better life. Thanks, Mom. Thursday, January 8, 2009. A Liberal Girl's Hometown. I'm a not-...
