I’m looking forward to talking with you about all of this during the upcoming weekend in Starksboro.

One of the things that I’m curious about is how you plan to highlight the unjust conditions that […]

When I was a teacher, I was aware that when I read student writing, I most often did it with one of two minds. Sometimes I read it as a teacher: looking for high points, keeping an eye out for […]

I have often found that in the early stage of research that is in the least “off the beaten path,” it is a problem of ide […]

“There are leaders and those who lead.” Yikes.

First, I love the kind of sentence, this kind, that hides itself. Leaders? Those who lead? What’s the difference? Then it unfolds itself, and as you […]

I find so interesting that you recognize both the danger of isolation that technologically advanced communication poses — and the great promise it holds for just the opposite. I imagine your research w […]

I would like to applaud so much of what you have written, but I would like to especially applaud your stance that students don’t have to learn about various sexual orientations, as much as to learn a […]

As I read this post, it dawned on me that even though I live in a Vermont town with some dairy farms (and near other towns with even more), the only reason I know that there are Mexican workers here in […]
