Ink & Light: Archipelagic Gaps: Challenges in Access to Maternal and Child Health Care within Indonesia’s 17,000 Islands
http://halfadayaway.blogspot.com/2010/06/archipelagic-gaps-challenges-in-access.html
To pitch your ideas. (FYI - I already tried hot potatos in my pockets, an old Irish tradition). Thursday, June 24, 2010. Archipelagic Gaps: Challenges in Access to Maternal and Child Health Care within Indonesia’s 17,000 Islands. I applied to Indonesia as a Fulbright Scholar to study the impact of decentralization on maternal and child health care. I chose this topic because, from my experience in graduate school, I believe governments can reduce maternal mortality if and only if. My Fulbright experience...

Ink & Light: May 2010
http://halfadayaway.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
To pitch your ideas. (FYI - I already tried hot potatos in my pockets, an old Irish tradition). Friday, May 28, 2010. An Islamic Approach to Environmentalism. In my efforts to follow this "Eco Islam" movement in Indonesia, as people call it, I found myself sitting with ten Australian journalists around bowls of cassava chips and sambal in a forest in Bantul, Yogyakarta. We listened to Nashruddin thank us for visiting his brainchild, the Ilmogiri pesan trend, and motioned for us to begin eating.

Ink & Light: April 2010

To pitch your ideas. (FYI - I already tried hot potatos in my pockets, an old Irish tradition). Tuesday, April 6, 2010. Are we there yet? This perk barely lasted past the outskirts of the city as we traversed the back streets and loaded more people into the van. I couldn't move without pushing a poor old man into the door, and Fiona sat on the crack between two seats. It was too good to be true. 15 minutes after Fiona and I got in the van to the beach a passenger realized she left her motorcycle helmet a...

Ink & Light: Thoughts about Indonesia and the Israeli-Arab conflict
http://halfadayaway.blogspot.com/2010/06/thoughts-about-indonesia-and-israeli.html
To pitch your ideas. (FYI - I already tried hot potatos in my pockets, an old Irish tradition). Monday, June 7, 2010. Thoughts about Indonesia and the Israeli-Arab conflict. One day my Indonesian friend and I chatted about life abroad and I asked her to tell me about her most "shocking" experience in the US. Me: What was your most unexpected discovery about American culture? Friend: That Jewish people still existed. You mean you didn't realize that Jews existed in the US? I started to think about the fac...

Ink & Light: Addendum

To pitch your ideas. (FYI - I already tried hot potatos in my pockets, an old Irish tradition). Sunday, July 25, 2010. However, this is not necessarily representative of Indonesia because most my friends are well-educated and kind. There are huge gaps in education and different families teach their children different things about diversity. I think the idea that white is inherently. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Ink & Light: On reverse culture shock
http://halfadayaway.blogspot.com/2011/01/on-reverse-culture-shock-part-1.html
To pitch your ideas. (FYI - I already tried hot potatos in my pockets, an old Irish tradition). Thursday, January 6, 2011. On reverse culture shock. To my horror, there were no buckets to wash myself with freezing cold water; I guess warm water and proper shower heads will have to do. *groan*. What's that you say? Don't be a baby? Hold on. It gets worse. I'm telling you, I don't know if I can handle the abundance of everything I could ever want. So what's the cure to reverse culture shock? Time is Flying...

To pitch your ideas. (FYI - I already tried hot potatos in my pockets, an old Irish tradition). Tuesday, July 27, 2010. Typology of a line cutter. This post was partly inspired by a conversation my friend, Aaron Connelly. There I was, still waiting after 15 minutes, and people began to cut in front of me. Instead of getting annoyed, though, I decided to change my perspective and have fun with the situation. I started paying attention to the people in the bus shelter. I observed how people cut...1 The opp...

Ink & Light: Obsession with White
http://halfadayaway.blogspot.com/2010/07/obsession-with-white.html
To pitch your ideas. (FYI - I already tried hot potatos in my pockets, an old Irish tradition). Sunday, July 18, 2010. When I use the word obsession, I often use it to describe a positive state of mind, one where I constantly think about something because it fascinates me. I will say "I'm obsessed with this new song" and listen to it on repeat because it gives me a lift and gets me moving in the morning. So we are human - we get obsessed with things, often irrationally, because we have emotions - so what?

Ink & Light: Learning the art of linguistic shamelessness
http://halfadayaway.blogspot.com/2010/08/learning-art-of-linguistic.html
To pitch your ideas. (FYI - I already tried hot potatos in my pockets, an old Irish tradition). Saturday, August 28, 2010. Learning the art of linguistic shamelessness. I often think about whether I allow the fear of making mistakes or sounding preposterous stop me from expressing myself in Indonesian; I wonder whether I'm applying what I learned in Ecuador about shamelessness and language to my language acquisition in Indonesia. August 28, 2010 at 6:29 PM. August 30, 2010 at 9:44 AM. Already, Not Yet.
