Mamdani to become the first Muslim mayor of NYC. I cannot express the joy in my heart that I get to witness that. That he is a socialist democrat? About time.

Taking Responsibility: The Right’s Refusal to reconcile with America’s Racial Policies.
There is a line of reasoning that suggests that the United States and its long struggle over our racial policies is no worse than any other country. I find this line of reasoning problematic for several reasons. As an Americanist, my research focuses exclusively on the United States, and as such, I'm not concerned about the history of various European, African, or Asian countries and their history of racial intolerance.

Thinking of going to school online? Want to know what its like to attend an online program? Are you teaching an online program with no experience as a student in one? Check out my latest blog entry on the online experience.
Going to School Online-Is it Worth it?
As an undergraduate, I attended a traditional brick-and-mortar institution back in the day, when Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Blackboard, Canvas, and DL2 were still relatively unheard of in the mainstream academic community. I remember having access to Blackboard, but none of my professors used it at all. So, skip ahead a decade, and I went to culinary school, followed by graduate school, both entirely online.

I have an interview on Tuesday for an instructor position at a local community college. The second interview in the last couple of weeks. I hope this one isn't a dud where they just want to talk at me.

I spent a good part of the evening putting together my modules into Word for classes in American History survey to 1877 and from 1877. Is it a bad decision that I don't plan to use a traditional textbook? I'm planning to use large portions of Yawp's primary sources along with texts from grad school

Over the last ten papal elections the longest was five days when Pius XI was elected after fourteen votes. Two other elections took four days, Pius X was elected after seven votes and John XXIII was elected after eleven votes. The other seven elections were either two (four) and three (three) days.
