Feb. 9th, 2012 11:00 pmI read a lot today, mostly for school, but I feel pretty good about it:
Rest of Faludi article
Thelwell – excerpt from “Opium Wars”
Achebe – he continues to be interesting and if I had time I would finish this book in a few days, but alas, I don’t have time
Chapter of Karras – “Sexuality in Medieval Europe” book – how I love her.
The Department Chair at Local College asked to observe me teaching. She will come on Monday for a lecture I know very little about – Mughal Empire. But there will be a video clip and readings. I’m not really going to do anything differently from how I usually teach and it doesn’t make me nervous. But I want to do my best.
Discussion of Faludi today: 1993-1994 is ‘back then’ to these kids who were born in 1993, 30 pages is such a long reading. It was hard of them to imagine the military that is not actually involved in a war.
