School’s Out for Summer! May 26, 2017
Fellow Commoners, Just a short note this week: classes are out and the semester is over! That means I’ll be taking a break from blogging for the summer. The end of the semester means an end to some of the routines of academic work, but its also time for me to get to work on […]

In Common this week: Beyond the Hall May 12, 2017
Welcome back fellow Commoners, I’m going to do things a bit different in this post. Instead of going identifying a particular theme across new content this week on the Commons, I’m going to focus in on several aspects of one site: the conference website for Beyond the Hall. Beyond the Hall is a conference scheduled […]

In Common this week: Terms of Service April 28, 2017
Welcome back folks, A recent college study was highlighted in The Guardian lately that confirms something we all know anecdotally: few people read terms of service. In the experiment with over five hundred college students, only a quarter “looked” at the terms of service for a fictitious service. Of course, as the article points out, […]

In common this week: Collaborative Writing with Social Paper (a.k.a. Words with Friends) April 21, 2017
Hi folks, I’m in the process of writing my dissertation which means much of my time is spent doing the solitary work of writing. It can get lonely. I look forward to the communal work of revising–sharing writing, soliciting feedback, discussion, argument. Invariably, the dense, obtuse writing I produce when I’m on my own opens […]

In common this week: Spring (break) into programming! April 11, 2017
It has been fascinating to watch the activity on the Commons steadily over this semester as part of my work on this blog. In spite of the gravatars and the fact that many of the people who show up on the colleagues are colleagues, digital interfaces sometimes disguise the human work that’s being done here. […]

Ed-Tech Scars August 24, 2016
We were barely out of middle school when Stuart showed me the scar— From Gary Jackson’s “The Family Solid” The Grad Center’s Convocation and New Student Orientation took place yesterday, and if Twitter is any indicator it was a good crowd. It starts with joy and excited anticipation, the scars come later. Packed house for […]

Troll Rocks August 12, 2016
America when will you be angelic? When will you take off your clothes? When will you look at yourself through the grave? From “America” by Allen Ginsberg I have to start this week’s round-up with a nod to Katherine E. Entigar‘s post “Captain America: belonging and fear in Prospect Park”: Evidently, some Brooklynites are unhappy with this installation […]

It’s In There! August 2, 2016
An agitation of the air, A perturbation of the light Admonished me the unloved year Would turn on its hinge that night. —“End of Summer” by Stanley Kunitz With the coming of August there’s been a bit of panic in the academic social mediasphere: How is it Aug 1?! Where did the summer go?! Classes start in […]

Faith in a Seed July 26, 2016
Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders. —Henry David Thoreau Well, let’s begin. The Commons knows no vacation, and the activity over the last […]

In the beginning… July 22, 2016
I’ve been blogging for the last five months on the CUNY Commons News blog. I’ve been getting a feel for the community and keeping up with what’s happening around the Commons. That said, I’ve been struggling a bit with how to best accomplish the task of highlighting the work in the community. Seems simple enough, I […]
