Way Too Long

It has been way too long since my last blog posting, which I admit I snagged from my previous posting that I wrote for my job at Providence College.  Since last May I've made a couple of major decisions in my life - one of which was resigning from my full-time job at director for student multicultural activities and returning to graduate school and the other was sharing my space with a new apartment mate who also happens to be (at least for me) an off the chart extrovert.  Both decisions have been life-changing in many ways.

I have to confess that I LOVE being back in school full-time.  What can I say? I love to read, study and write papers.  My introverted self is loving all of this as I get to spend lots of time by myself and delving into interesting topics.  Also I realized after having worked in diversity and social justice effort at PWIs (Primarily White Institutions) that I was emotionally, mentally and physically exhausted.  As much as diversity and social justice is so very important to me (and is my life) it became obvious to me that what I was doing wasn't making much of a dent in systemic -isms on a college campus especially PWIs.

So here I am..happily studying while taking a breather to reflect on all that I did (and couldn't do) in the past fourteen years.  More on that to come...

All It Takes Is One

In the past month there has been news about the place I had worked regarding racial profiling by the security officers. As a result there was a rally but this isn't the first time this has happened. There was a rally there two years ago about the same issue and reality about racial profiling of students, staff and faculty of color. There's much to comment on but I will focus mine about the statements made about how there has been "only one" formal report in the past two years by one faculty of color, which must mean there is no problem, right? Well, that's no different than saying that there have been no reported sexual assaults and rapes (and unfortunately there are many campuses who report such statistics) so that must mean it can't be happening on our campus. I believe that many would say that such a statement is ignorant at best and outright false at the worst. For those who made such comments haven't thought about how the bias incident protocol ...

From the Silk Road to DownCity

Imagine centuries of sweat, stirfry and stifling heat and humidity assaulting your senses. Well, my senses and my nose to be specific. It’s hard to believe that it has been twenty years since I got on a plane to travel across the Pacific to the Middle Kingdom, aka the People’s Republic of China. The first stop was in Shanghai then Beijing with my final destination in Wuhan where I would be living and teaching for a year. Renowned for its proximity to the Yangtze River, where Mao had once swum in its polluted waters, and for its soaring temperatures earning the moniker as one of the Oven Cities of China, this was “home.” When I reflect back on that time, it’s hard to believe I actually did it. Here I was at the cusp of turning thirty and found myself feeling like a little kid at her first summer camp experience not knowing anyone, feeling desperately homesick and asking for mom. In the midst of ambiguity and anxiety, all I could think was, “How am I, an engineer, going ...

Stuck in the Mud

Last week before Nemo (the storm) dumped nearly two feet of snow in Providence, I met with a group of colleagues from across campus to discuss our Friarside Readers (great name, huh?) book selection. We read Mudbound by Hillary Jordan which recounts the history of African American soldiers who fought in WWII for the US yet found no respect or honor when they returned to their own country. What I love about this group are two things: We read a variety of books that so happens to address many different aspects of diversity. In the past year we read The Horseboy about autism and Mongolia,  Caleb's Crossing about Native Americans and English foreigners on Martha's Vineyard, Mudbound about the South and African American soldiers and next it'll be The Shoemaker's Wife about Italians immigrating to NYC at the turn of the last century. We discuss with relative ease about the difficult topic and reality of race, racism, power and privilege. That is, we feel c...
