Academia as a vocation. Thoughts on teaching, scholarship, and the other things that the privilege of being an academic affords the ability to think about. I also use this blog when I teach as a central repository of stuff related to various courses, so you'll find some of that if you browse here too.

2011 World Politics question #13
On p. 250, Todorov writes: "'The man who finds his country sweet is only
a raw beginner; the man for whom each country is as his own is already
strong; but only the man for whom the whole world is as a foreign
country is perfect' (I myself, a Bulgarian living in France, borrow this
quotation from Edward Said, a Palestinian living in the United States,
who himself found it in Erich Auerbach, a German exiled in Turkey)." Is this in fact the best way to avoid genocide in cross-cultural encounters?
