I can tell when colleagues in my discipline had no liberal arts foundation; there's an inability to view the world holistically that pervades not only their research, but their teaching and advising as well. They are your Darem and Genesis... your Llorca... "They don't know what they don't know."
I've had to explain why/how Jean-Baptiste Colbert and mercantilist ideology from the 1660s affects small business strategy. And my research now on inequity in coffee markets has grounding in Rawlsian justice and elements of Foucault's and Polanyi's works.
Over the past 5 years, I've had to fall back on courses I took as an undergrad 20+ years ago to explain to students why/how Russia attacking Ukraine (and now the US and Israel attacking Iran) affects small business strategy.
I loved this piece.
I'm an American tenured marketing professor. My Canadian undergrad degree was in polisci and French language and literature. I took zero business courses as an undergraduate-- in fact, I had negative interest in business **at that time.**
Fortune reads "Be true to yourself, no matter what"
Trying...
One shot in a period isn't going to get you far in the playoffs.
It is more than 14 into this period and the #GoHabsGo have a solidarity shot on goal.
The Dems should be running whomever they can on the left (not centrist) because this will become the single most important issue of the campaign (yes, 8 months from now) when there's no way the GOP can fix an affordability crisis led by gas. And again, pin it to corruption.
I won't even get started (I have before) on the Administration's antipathetic policy toward electrification and renewables. Biden handed him FDR money on a golden platter and he could've had his name plastered all over a solar-powered charging infrastructure of Level 4 chargers. Alas...
It's been almost 3 days and gas is up another 20¢/gal. We're talking 50¢/gal since this started. No end in sight. No plan.
There are a lot of morality and ethics reasons why the GOP should be wiped out in November, but this is #1 how they will be.
When the normalization of betting on everything and the constant dehumanization of immigrants collide
It was a tight category and I'm biased, but I know how they advanced to nationals last year-- what the judging rubrics entailed-- and was surprised this year's project didn't even net them an honorable mention (which is like a "standby").
Sadly, they did not advance this year. One of her first major tests of learning academic/professional resilience.
It's Saturday morning of Spring Break. I made a latte. And I'm spinning the 20th Anniversary reissue of Silent Alarm. Mental rest.
The lesson, which resonates with the previous episodes of Listen to the Native Voices we had with Venezuelans, is that the line that divides humans into grievable life and dehumanized, expendable, and ungrievable life cuts across ethnicity and nationality.
A 13 year old girl stands in front of an exhibit trifold for "Woburn Cancer Cluster: Contamination, Consequences, Change." The trifold is filled with a lot of text and historical pictures.
It's National History Day district competition day and my daughter's there for a second year. This year, their subject is the Woburn Cancer Cluster, core to the John Travolta film "A Civil Action" (they interviewed the lawyers for their research). We'll see how it goes over the next couple of hours!
11 of 33 wins were in overtime. 10 of 28 losses were in overtime. Great comebacks are why they have a better points percentage as W2 than Detroit as A3, but the inability to close games out is a massive problem and it's not going to go away with getting younger.
Lane Hutson is immensely talented. Indisputable. But his risk threshold is way too high.
That was dumb. This team should have won in regulation.
Oh no. Suzuki in the shootout. Why Marty why?
Lane. I know you got a goal this evening. But, cmon man... you can take the shot on those one-timers.
How. Many 6 on 5 goals has this #GoHabsGo team given up this season? Lordy.
This is the legacy of Dr. Ludwig Guttmann, Paralympics pioneer.
Look, I'll root for Canada but Josh Pauls, the US captain is a 5 time gold-medal winner in sled hockey. As for the women, no tournament.
72 US athletes and guides.
It's Paralympics time! I hope President Trump is going to call the future gold-medal-winning USA sled hockey team! No? He doesn't care? Oh.
I've had too many "disco fries" and shitty poutines so I think this is a good idea.
But also, if the gravy isn't hearty enough, umami enough, and hot enough, why bother. Also, it needs to be a twice-fried Belgian fry.
On second thought, if you can't designate the specs, then this is a boring idea.
Yeahhhh.
Anyways, no one call me an antivaxxer. It's not true. I'm wired.
