Saturday, January 03, 2009Back in the Swing of ThingsAcademia is a strange, surreal place:Of course, not every sexual exchange at an academic conference ends with both parties happy. Israel Reyes, an associate professor of Spanish at Dartmouth College, noted that some of the sex (or attempts to get sex) at academic conferences is sexual harassment. The whole article ('Tricks of the Trade') is pretty good for a chuckle. Full post and comments below the fold. Posted by W.

Aubin at 8:56 PM (10 comments) Wednesday, December 03, 2008Reiko Ohnuma, Part 2Further examination of Reiko Ohnuma's Facebook profile has dug up a few more gems:* On co-professor Clarence Hardy: "Reiko is co-teaching this term with a black colleague...whose mind is no longer on the stupid class." * On grading papers: "Reiko has nothing interesting to say about these damn papers, but better think of something quick." * On her course load: "Reiko shouldn't be teaching Religion 1 nine years in a row, because it's getting pretty old at this point." * On the religion department: "some day, when i am chair, we're all going to JOG IN PLACE throughout the meeting. this should knock out at least half of the faculty within 10 minutes (especially the blowhards) & then the meeting can be ended in a timely manner." (emphasis ours) * Lastly, with a bit of irony, she posts a Salon article about facebook: "Professionals over 30 have joined the networking site in droves, but with great convenience can come great embarrassment." Again, pictures, in case she closes her profile: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Full post and comments below the fold. Posted by Michael J.

Her Facebook profile is littered with quotes, revealing deep insight into her teaching style: * "Reiko doesn't know how to explain what 'modernity' is & isn't entirely clear herself." * "(to a facebook friend) 'I'm now going to shamelessly plagiarize your language.'" * "Where is Wikipedia when you really need it? The Wikipedia article on modernity SUCKS." * "Yeah, I saw that page already. Thank fucking God for the Internet." The next day: * "Reiko faked it with aplomb." * "yeah, but i feel like such a fraud...do you think dartmouth parents would be upset about paying $40,000 a year for their children to go here if they knew that certain professors were looking up stuff on Wikipedia and asking for advice from their Facebook friends on the night before the lecture?" That's a very good question, Reiko. What do you say, Dartmouth Parents, Students, Alumni, and others? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Full post and comments below the fold. Posted by Michael J.

I can't decide whether this is a bit of hyperbolic fluff or a last-ditch effort to get on everybody's good side at once. Full post and comments below the fold. Posted by W.

It is notable that, succeeding Henry Paulson '68, Geithner will be the second consecutive Dartmouth alum entrusted with rescuing our troubled economy — in what many are calling the most powerful job in the world right now. Perhaps Dartmouth's "corporate culture" isn't such a terrible thing?Full post and comments below the fold. Posted by Michael J.
