Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
4/12: paper topics
I worked with a student last semester on her senior capstone portfolio, and I'm working with her again this semester on a presentation paper for our year-long children's literature project. Both semesters she found topics that allowed her to speak to things she really cares about, and it's been great to see her enjoy her thinking and her work. Her writing has also gotten more confident and focused and smooth--partially because of practice, no doubt, but partially also because she and her topics work well together. It was a pleasure to meet with her to discuss her latest draft.
