Kent Glenzer’s best 47 songs of 2015

 

Kent Glenzer, Professor and Dean of the Graduate School of International Policy and Management (GSIPM) has created a list of his top 47 songs of 2015. This playlist contains a very variety of music genres, artists range from Jamie XX and Griz to Kendrick Lamar and Vince Staples. I experienced that moment when  you realize your professor is woke and they have great taste in music. What does “woke” mean? According to Urban Dictionary it means being aware, specifically knowing whats going on in the community relating to racism and social injustice.  I really enjoyed listening to this mix and recommend that everyone who enjoys music check it out! This is a great playlist to listen to while you’re getting ready or doing some dense reading.

Hope everyone has a happy Hump Day!

Weirdly Worldly: Three TESOL students nerding out over language and culture

Weirdly Worldly is a podcast and long-form conversation. 20151201_175552

We are three TESOL students who frequently find ourselves discussing world events and happenings. Since our lives revolve around language while at school, it only makes sense to discuss accents in our first episode.

The most recent claim on the origins of the Australian accent says that drunken settlers are to blame. As language students, we dissect the validity of this argument and bring to light some other ideas.

 

2015 Summer Peacebuliding Program with Professor Iyer and the Center for Conflict Studies

Over the summer of 2015, I participated in the first annual Summer Peacebuilding Program on the campus of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, hosted by Professor Pushpa Iyer and the Center for Conflict Studies. DSC_0022

Spending part of the time on the MIIS campus and part of the time at the Mount Madonna Center in Watsonville, CA, our group of almost 20 students from all over the world took a deep dive into many concepts incorporated in peacebuilding. I took a moment to interview 4 of the students from the program, asking them to discuss some of the personal transformations they experienced over those 3-weeks.

Take 15 minutes to hear the insightful things they went through.

Thank you to Professor Iyer for a great program.
