Hi. welcome to my blog.
Okay, so getting up in front of a class for the first time as a grad student was new.
Thanks for not throwing coffee and lit cigarettes in my eyes.
Once I finished talking I realized that I hadn't really said anything about myself other than my email. I even managed to tell y'all that, yes, I will be around to help out with proposals.
That means that sometime in November, probaly the first or second week of that month, I will hold a raft of office hours. Of course, this is once I get an office.
In my undergrad, I went to the UofAlberta. Major in Sociology and a Minor in Art and Design.
In essence I combined the two, and did as much Art and photography in my Soc classes as I could get away with.
The thing is, writing doesn't mean just papers, it could be stories, video recordings, photography, Art... anything.
This is how I learned that Sociology was fun. Being able to do what I wanted to do, in a discipline that is constantly evolving.
The first things I noticed when I got here was that; there's a casino downtown, there's video camera's downtown, but hey there aren't any people downtown so what are the cameras for?
Also on campus. Where are all the clocks? Where are all the phones? Whats with the video cameras?
These are some of the things that amuse me .... oh yeah and the centenial brick from 1967 that the ryan building is made of... you know, they don't make that stuff anymore, so you can't fix it.
On the side and inside everyday I am also amused by:
Industial Archaology
The Post Pastoral Landscape
Trespassing
Space and Place
Art/Photography
Philosophy
Disability
Check back here every once in a while for more posts directed at this class, as an informal way of getting to know one another, feel free to make comments. Anonymity is cool too.
Oh yeah, I'm pretty into this guy at the moment. He shoots with a large format camera. That means film. Big Film.
