Historianess: September 2003

From the hallowed halls of academia, thoughts about history, etc. Nicholas Kristof Gets it Right, Again. The Bush administration is at it again, cutting more and more funding for family planning groups, including Marie Stopes International. Operating in Africa. Why?

Posted by Rebecca @ 8:43 AM. I have just realized I com...

From the hallowed halls of academia, thoughts about history, etc. I have just finished my first semester teaching at a large and well-known northeastern university that shall, as usual, remain nameless. Though I have only a semester of experience under my belt, this CNN article. I make these observations as Harvard University, that bastion of grade inflation, reports lower overall grades for the second year in a row. As a parting gem, this Duke University professor claims he gave no C's. This semester&#4...

From the hallowed halls of academia, thoughts about history, etc. Dean for President in 2004? The big time media coverage hasn't caught on to Dean yet, but you can read an article about him in today's Boston Globe Magazine. Dean also has a website. That details his health care and education achievements. It's a little early for me to talk about supporting Dean, but I'll be watching him closely and posting interesting tidbits. Posted by Rebecca @ 11:43 AM. If we cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq. I am not sure...

From the hallowed halls of academia, thoughts about history, etc. Why I am NOT a Traitor. I think former Vermont governor Howard Dean, now Democratic candidate for President, said it best in his response to Bush's Monday evening speech:. So here you have it folks- this is the voice of my conscience. Posted by Rebecca @ 10:55 AM. Thank Heavens, I'm still a Democrat. Democrat - You believe that there should be a free.

From the hallowed halls of academia, thoughts about history, etc. Two disturbing stories in this morning's New York Times. Kristoff also mentions that Bush has appointed a committee to reevaluate the necessity for Title IX.
