Well, how did I get here? April 4, 2012. I haven’t followed all the hype and I haven’t read the book, but I did go to see the Hunger Games movie. And I thought it was pretty good. A lot of people were celebrating the fact that the main character was female and the book was written by a woman. Then I read an article called “ What’s Wrong with the Hunger Games is What No One Noticed. That we are playing the game; retaining our dignity and values whilst appearing to play along; and.

Well, how did I get here? Category Archives: Aid worker identity. June 18, 2013. It was never about Haiti. Back around the time that I got too busy to regularly stop, reflect, and write, I came across a thoughtful post on aid work in Haiti. How did I get here? How do I work this? April 25, 2012. Every now and then, I read something that hits me smack in the stomach. This cross-post is one of those. Originally on Quinn Zimmerman’s blog “These New Boots”. Day 326: Questions and (No) Answers. 8221; I ask hi...

Thoughts from Anatolia: Lack of progress on women's rights in Turkey?
http://anatolian-thoughts.blogspot.com/2010/07/lack-of-progress-on-womens-rights-in.html
Tuesday, July 20, 2010. Lack of progress on women's rights in Turkey? Today the Turkish Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women will present its sixth report, which will summarize its progress over the past five years towards achieving, well, their name. The meeting will be at the UN in New York, which makes me suspect they will emphasize the few gains (such as possible increases in girls' school enrollment). So what can be done? July 22, 2010 at 12:06 AM. Hmm, no response on my cont...

Thoughts from Anatolia: Conversations
http://anatolian-thoughts.blogspot.com/2010/08/conversations.html
Sunday, August 8, 2010. After weeks of number crunching I got away from the office to talk to people about some of the issues I've been researching. I won't call it qualitative research, because I have absolutely no training in that. I suppose what I've been doing is more like journalism, maybe slightly better than cringe-inducing articles starting with "on my way from the airport to the hotel the taxi driver told me.". Me: Yes. I am from America. Mehmet: Where in America? Me: Yes, her. Me: No. Rent.

Wandering, wondering, rambling, railing – first stop, ethiopia. How not to go backpacking (a cautionary tale from China). December 1, 2011. This was my entry to the 2011 Bradt/Independent on Sunday Travel Writing Competition. It didn’t win, but I recently discovered that it was longlisted! Weirdly enough, i have never been to perth. This is a story of stupidity and luck, youthful foolishness and old-age kindness. I hope you like it but I really really hope that you learn something! We fork out for transl...
