This student literally writes that "identity and heritage" are the last refuge of poor white folks--as long as you are white, you still matter. And the author can only moon over how polite he is. Gee.

Re: What’s in a Name? Marriage, Surnames, and Grad School

Of course marriage (or divorce, or even gay marriage or divorce!) isn't the only reason one's name might change during an academic career. Some transgender scholars change names, and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of customs/norms for citing trans scholars while protecting their identity or status.

Have you thought about reading Isocrates across Levinas, and using MOOCs as the example/artifact?

I guarantee this "feel like I'm getting twerked on" statement is inaccurate.

What would be the smallest possible MOOC? A MOOC of two? Or one? Could a blog be a single-person MOOC? Is it already a MOOC for two?

After a quick scan, I don't see any kind of similar policy on my own university's library website. But I can imagine Harvard not being the only research library with this ridiculous policy and the sexist double standard for its enforcement. Someone ought to start a database for reporting this b.s. (and comparing policies at different institutions).

"seems to have some partially interrogated feels" -- excellent analysis / turn of phrase.

Re: Liberal arts chairs side with partner benefits

Kendall Gerdes — Thu, 06 May 2010 23:49:14 -0000

Hey, Justin, I am totally "agreeing" with you. I mean, since homosexuals can't get "married", it's like the "people" of Texas have no way of "knowing" whether they are "domestic partners" in a "stable" relationship sharing life expenses, housing, and family--or just some random yahoo trying to scam the system!

I mean, every heterosexual boyfriend and girlfriend "gets married" just so we can avoid these confusing situations, amirite? It's not like heterosexuals would ever have a reason to NOT get married, but still want to utilize their "partner's" health benefits! Isn't really "obvious" that the 21 chairs who unanimously approved a resolution supporting domestic partner benefits have been "infiltrated"--by "Socialists"?!

I just "hope" that no one thinks you or I are motivated by some kind of "ideological" commitment to a "heteropatriarchy" that "disciplines" "gender" by "instrumentalizing" THE CRAZY SCIENCE OF "ECONOMICS" as a way of "abdicating ethical responsibility" to our human family, let alone our fellow citizens! That would be silly.

Re: Liberal arts chairs side with partner benefits

Kendall Gerdes — Thu, 06 May 2010 14:57:00 -0000

@Justin May--that's right, "benefits" for "partners" is clearly not an "equal" "treatment" issue, it's an "economics" issue. I can't believe how "expensive" "civil rights" can be. UT should just cut all benefits for all partners, parents, and dependents--that would solve the "budget" "crisis".

Thank you Evan for writing this, and thank you Relevant mag for publishing it online. The violence in Uganda and the law to codify it are indeed shocking. It is so important that the body of Christ take responsibility, for whatever we have contributed to hurting our brothers and sisters (and our children, and our parents, and our friends), and for whatever we have left undone to defend them.

According to the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) who conducts research on LGBT youth, in 2007 (their most recent complete survey) more than 85 percent of LGBT students in America reported being verbally harrassed. That number is startlingly high, but even the 44.1% who were physically harrassed at school is embarrassing.

Jesus didn't say we would be judged by our ability to show kindness to people just like us. He said, I was naked and you didn't clothe me; I was hungry and you didn't feed me; I was in prison and you didn't come to visit me. Do we still take him seriously?
