The tenure labyrinth – teachers in Afro-American studies

My first academic job interview resulted in a job offer. My doctorate is in American Studies, but the job offer was in Afro-American Studies.

Does education rationing have racial undertones?

For much of this summer, I have clipped a series of articles that raise questions about access to higher education. Though the articles have taken different approaches, they end up asking a similar set of questions – who should go to college and how should it be financed?

The Cattle Killing. – book reviews

Because The Cattle Killing, John Edgar Wideman’s first work of fiction in six years, is about loss – loss of life, loss of faith, loss of hope, innocence and direction – it seems only fitting that this review should begin like the book, with a metaphorical slaughtering.

Ironic, because the prime mission of HBCUs is to provide educational opportunities to those who may not otherwise get the chance to attend college. The complaint was filed in June just weeks before the celebration of Title IX’s twenty-fifth anniversary.
