Learning Online
In some respects as an Instructional Technology Fellow, I really understand what its like to improve classes with technology both for undergraduates and for professors.

Nawal El-Saadawi
In about half an hour, I’ll be going to hear a long-time Egyptian feminist, activist, sociologist, medical doctor, Nawal El-Saadawi, speak at the Graduate Center. She was present at the recent uprising in Tahrir Square and will share her reflections on women, Egypt and the revolution. I wanted to make available the readings that were […]

Copycats
http://www.latina.com/immigration-by-state This is an interactive map that shows how many states in the US is copying the Arizona bill.

Epifanio De Los Santos
Context: I just got back from the Philippines. Like. Yesterday. All of us climbed into a van headed to Quezon City, all 12 of us. As we passed by “Our Lady of Peace” and made a right onto Edsa, my sister, Alexie, asked our aunt, MamaNes, “What is that?” She began to tell us the […]

Arizona Wannabes
I remember a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to write my fury about Arizona banning ethnic studies from its classrooms.
