From the Annals of Anthroman. Saturday, February 26, 2011. Disrespected, Take Two. Cross-posted at The Chronicle of Higher Education.). I wanted to take a second to acknowledge the responses to my most recent post (about complaints several senior black faculty have expressed to me about their treatment in the academy).

From the Annals of Anthroman. Thursday, May 6, 2010. Race, Genetics, and Harvard Law School. Is it reasonable to simply ponder the "possibility," ever so idly and hypothetically, that bad genes might explain African American underachievement? It is a an old and many-told tale, I know, but it just got a fresh re-telling at Harvard Law School this month. I absolutely do not rule out the possibility," she wrote, "that African-Americans are, on average, genetically predisposed to be less intelligent.". The s...

From the Annals of Anthroman. Monday, March 15, 2010. The Politicization of Everything (that the other side is doing). Frank Rich wrote a NYT op-ed this weekend that began by criticizing former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino and former NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani for their ideological readings of 9/11.

How Do You Say Rain in Canadian? Sunday morning I leave for a week in St. John’s, Newfoundland, where I’ll be giving a paper at a ethnomusicology conference. Today, I checked the weather report: drizzle, showers, sprinkles, everyday, for a week. It’s like someone got bored with the forecast and opened their thesaurus up to the page for rain. Precipitation, cloudburst, downpour, anyone? 1 August 2008 at 20:51. How fitting is it that the last poet laureate of the Bush reign is a married lesbian. Choe Sang-...

From the Annals of Anthroman. Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Academia in the Age of "Reactionary Foucauldianism". I'm taking part in a faculty discussion today on "teaching controversial issues."
