Rodney Hood gets first crack at his old teammate, Jabari Parker
Jason DeCrow, Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — The Utah Jazz are about to get their first look at a player they coveted leading up to the draft last month.
While the Jazz and fans are curious to see Jabari Parker for the first time in a Milwaukee Bucks uniform when the two teams play Monday (8:30 p.m.) at Thomas & Mack Center, the NBA Summer League game will be a fun reunion for Utah rookie Rodney Hood.
Parker, the No. 2 pick, and Hood, the No. 23 selection, were teammates last year at Duke.
"I know everybody wants to hype it up because it's against Jabari and we might be guarding each other," Hood said after Sunday's practice. "At the same time we're real good friends off the court, but on the court we're going to go at each other."
Hood said he's kept in constant contact with Parker, whom the Jazz had hoped to be able to acquire on draft night before landing Dante Exum with the fifth pick.
"We talk almost every day. It's just a great relationship. It goes past basketball," Hood said. "Great kid, loves the game of basketball. (He can) handle the ball, do special things with the ball. And his size (6-8), it's a plus."
The game will be televised live on KJZZ-TV.
RU-T GOBERT: Jazz center Rudy Gobert got a technical foul Saturday night after slamming the ball on the court in frustration. He said it was "just frustration" that led to his emotions boiling over.
"Coach talked to me about the play before. He wanted me to dive on the ball. He said he doesn't really care about the technical," Gobert said. "I'll be there the next game. I'm just mad. The next game will be better."
The 7-1 big man scored 11 points, making four of five shots, and grabbed a team-high nine rebounds with two blocked shots.
"Not very happy," he said when asked to reflect on his outing. "I got a couple of easy baskets, but I think I can do way better."
TEN PERCENT: Jazz assistant Brad Jones said the coaching staff isn't overly concerned with Utah's 3-for-30 shooting performance from 3-point range in Saturday's 74-70 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers' squad.
"Our guys really tried to play right and do what we asked them to do. We just didn't make open shots," Jones said. "We're not going to freak out about that. We're just going to stay the course. We've got a lot of young guys out there trying to do the right and playing in an NBA game for the first time."

Nigerian-born drummer Michael Babatunde Olatunji grew to international fame beginning in the late '50s with his groundbreaking 1959 Capitol Records debut Drums of Passion. The album was a huge hit, remaining in print for decades and standing as one of the first examples of the American record-buying public taking an interest in international music. Jazz kingpin John Coltrane took a particular liking to Olatunji's music, and the two became friends, eventually going so far as to collaborate on the opening of Olatunji's Center for African Culture in Harlem, an institution founded in 1965 to offer classes centered around African culture. Along with recording his own albums throughout the 40-year period following Drums of Passion, Olatunji played with a host of stand-out artists of multiple genres, making guest appearances on records by jazz greats like Cannonball Adderley, Horace Silver, and Max Roach, as well collaborating with artists who ran the spectrum, from Stevie Wonder to Bob Marley. Guitar rock gods Santana re-interpolated an Olatunji composition on their debut album, and several members of the Grateful Dead contributed to his 1986 album Dance to the Beat of My Drum. Olatunji went on to work closely with Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart and vocalist Flora Purim on the Planet Drum project. His work was tireless and included work on music for films and Broadway productions, drumming workshops, political activism, and a lengthy stint as a musical educator. Olatunji suffered from diabetes and eventually succumbed to the disease in 2003, but he actively recorded and taught in the years leading up to his death, leaving behind a legacy of healing music and social outreach. ~ Fred Thomas

Since the inception of the National Association of Manufacturers Political Action Committee (NAM-PAC) in January 2013, we are proud to report that PAC events have raised more than $1 million to support members of Congress and candidates who have established themselves as proven champions in supporting a pro-manufacturing agenda. Thus far, the NAM-PAC has held 62 events for members and candidates on both sides of the aisle, including House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI-1), House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA-23) and House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD-5), Sens. Rob Portman (R-OH) and Chris Coons (D-DE) and Reps. Pat Tiberi (R-OH-12) and Ron Kind (D-WI-3) just to name a few.
We are very proud of reaching this tremendous milestone and extremely grateful to NAM member company political action committees that have joined us in supporting these campaigns.
Proudly, the PAC has a strong history of supporting incumbent manufacturing champions facing difficult primary and general election campaigns as well as challengers who have committed to pursuing an NAM-friendly agenda once elected to Congress. The NAM-PAC is committed to supporting candidates who stand firm on their promises to create a policy environment in the United States that encourages growth and innovation.
For the remaining six months of this critical 2016 election cycle, the NAM-PAC will look to build upon our already successful efforts to assist campaigns of members of Congress who consistently support the manufacturing industry. To create high-paying manufacturing jobs and grow our economy, it is imperative that manufacturers stand together to elect candidates who are willing to fight for manufacturing interests in Congress.
If you have questions about the NAM-PAC or our events, contact Erik Rosedahl at email@example.com or (202) 637-3054.

Feedback is an inevitable part of teaching. Naturally, you're in a position where you're giving a whole lot of feedback, but you're likely on the receiving end of feedback as well.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
7 Things To Remember About Classroom Feedback
"The difference between assessment of learning and assessment for learning is a crucial one, in many ways indicative of an important shift in education.
Traditionally, tests have told teachers and parents how a student "does," then offers a very accessible point of data (usually percentage correct and subsequent letter grade) that is reported to parents as a performance indicator."
Via Beth Dichter
Alfredo Corell's insight:
The 5 keys:
* Shared learning expectations
* Eliciting evidence
* Feedback
* Self assessment
* Peer assessment
Mary Starry's curator insight, October 4, 2013 11:04 PM
"Assessment for learning" versus "assessment of learning" is also promoted as a key component of the learning portfolio all colleges of pharmacy need to have to demonstrate student achievement.
Aunty Alice's curator insight, October 6, 2013 8:40 PM
I have practiced a system that covers four of the 5 key strategies for many years starting at five years of age. I would not teach any other way. With this kind of assessment students after seven years of age can lead parent teacher conferences with ease and confidence. Had a dad in tears once who confessed it was the first time his son had talked meaningfully to him about his learning. Then I was in tears too....
Aunty Alice's curator insight, November 21, 2013 8:03 PM
A good little diagram but it does not address the issue of how to do it..it requires modelling, first by the teacher, then slowly devolving the responsibility to the learner, and focus on one subject area at a time e.g. Literacy . In my experience it also requires set aside time with each student to assess together, recording what has been discussed so it is not forgotten. I am talking about elementary learners here..

Cant print temp cards from website either because of errors so entire system is a fail.
Good luck getting edesk to answer phone unless you can wait 20 minutes. Then they wont be able to do anything to help.
Unfortunately I cant delete the insurance only the app
Just plain doesn't work. Never can sign on ... Just get a "we are unable to log in" message. If it were functional, I could forgive other usability issues such as buttons that are not obvious and text fields that do not respond when tapped. But, since it doesn't even work, don't waste your time downloading.

Hypoglycemia diet is a kind of diet who usually done by people who suffer from hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is a condition when sugar level of our blood is too low. Hypoglycemia usually attack people who have not eat yet for a long period of time, or people who are fasting. In that condition the sugar level of the blood decrease sharply since we do some activities while we do not give a sugar to our body as the energy. However, there are some people who have a low level of sugar in their body without fasting or not eating for a long period of time. Who are they? It will explain below about Hypoglycemia diet.
How to know the hypoglycemia?
Are you peopling who always feel like you are under pressure, depressed but there are nothing bothers you? Or are you a kind of people who is difficult to get sleep in the night? If the answer of those two questions is "yes" you should check your condition to your doctor, you might need a Hypoglycemia diet or low level of sugar in your blood. Here are the characteristics of people who are suffering from hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia sometimes attacked a people who are easy to get dizzy, hungry, and sweating. Hypoglycemia diet people also difficult to sleep in the night, they are always nervous although there is no important event or something happened. People who need Hypoglycemia diet also have fatigue and easy to get tired.
How to begin the Hypoglycemia diet?
To begin the Hypoglycemia diet is easy. The min important thing to do is do not let yourself hungry. You have to eat in a range of two or three hours per day. Why do you should eat that much every day? It is because you need a stable level of sugar in your blood. People who have hypoglycemia also not allowed to eat something with high level of sugar in it. Some foods that you have to keep away, such as: ice scream, candy, or sweets. That kind of foods might increase the level of the sugar in your blood and it is dangerous for your body. An instant way of returning your sugar level back to normal is by using a specific hypoglycemic diet that can include the following food types. A number of dietary food sources contain this amount of carbohydrates; they are apples, oranges, grape juice, and regular non-diet soda, and bread, crackers. That was all information about Hypoglycemia diet.

The information derived from the interpretation of historical aerial photographs is perhaps the most basic multitemporal application of remote-sensing data. Aerial photographs dating back to the early 20th century can be extremely valuable sources of historical landscape activity. In this application, imagery from 1918 to 1927 provided a wealth of information about chemical weapons testing, storage, handling, and disposal of these hazardous materials. When analyzed by a trained photo-analyst, the 1918 aerial photographs resulted in 42 features of potential interest. When compared with current remedial activities and known areas of contamination, 33 of 42 or 78.5% of the features were spatially correlated with areas of known contamination or other remedial hazardous waste cleanup activity.

History Lesson
A new stadium for the Jets is crucial, the Bloomberg administration argues, in order to jump-start long-stalled development atop the West Side rail yards. "Eighty years of history demonstrates that there was not a lot of interest [there]," Deputy Mayor Daniel Doctoroff told a City Council hearing last week.
In fact, the recent past of the Hudson rail yards is littered with failed attempts at vast new projects. None other than the former owners of Madison Square Garden proposed in the mid 1980s that they be allowed to construct a "world-class sports and entertainment center" above the yards. The Garden, owned at the time by Gulf+Western Inc., proposed that, using private funds, it would create a new arena there, along with a huge office and apartment complex built by the real estate firm Olympia and York.
Former MTA chairman Richard Ravitch said that legendary New York sports executive (and former Jets owner) Sonny Werblin personally broached the idea to him. The plan fell apart, however, when the City Planning Commission said the proposed zoning was too dense. (Last month the city approved a zoning density at twice that level for most of the rail yards.) Another former suitor for the site, Ravitch said, was the American Stock Exchange.
Thirty years earlier, in 1956, another renowned New Yorker, William Zeckendorf Sr., proposed an even more grandiose plan for the yards: a new convention hall, a merchandise mart, and a "Television City." Proving that there are no new ideas under the sun, the master builder also wanted to erect the world's tallest skyscraper there. He called it "Freedom Tower" and it was to stand 1,750 feet talljust 26 feet shorter than the Freedom Tower envisioned by architect Daniel Libeskind for the World Trade Center site.

Relatively new cinematic team of director Ariel Vromen and writer
Joshua Leibner pounce onto the scene with a surprisingly fine little
film that has basically gone unnoticed. DANIKA is a story that demands
the viewer's careful attention and rewards that attention with a finely
wrought surprise ending. This is a tough movie to review: almost
anything that is said about it diminishes the impact of a fresh look.
Danika (the superb and grossly underused actress Marisa Tomei) is a beautiful, well-dressed successful professional woman, loved by her husband Randy (Craig Bierko) and her children Kurt (Kyle Gallner), Lauren (Nicki Prian) and Brian (Ridge Canipe). Yet even from the opening scenes we can tell something is amiss: Danika 'sees' disturbing things, terrifying events and people that alter her attention to her job and her family. She visits a young psychiatrist Evelyn (Regina Hall) who becomes her confidant - the only person who accepts that Danika is witnessing disturbing sights. A mixture of critical pieces of disastrous events flash before Danika's eyes as well as flashbacks to some years back when her children were young. Danika overcompensates for her fears by being an overprotective mother, an unfortunate trait that begins to fracture her family.
The pace of the film changes to rapid fire events as the reasons for Danika's visions become clear: we finally see just what made this brilliant and strong woman the victim of a terrified and disturbed psyche and the manner in which each of the characters in the story impacts this discovery is well-illuminated. The surprise ending scene is a stunner and one that will haunt the viewer.
Marisa Tomei makes this very difficult, well-written role completely believable. She is an actress of enormous gifts. Likewise the remainder of the cast offers such fine ensemble work that credit must be given director Ariel Vromen for being a young talent on the rise. Yes, there are some portions of the film that beg credibility but then that is what delusional thinking is about. This is a tight little film that deserves attention. Grady Harp
I saw Danika's world premiere at the CineVegas film festival this past
weekend. It was an excellent psychological thriller with many twists
and turns. Marisa Tomei is exceptionally convincing in the lead role as
a soccer mom tortured by visions which could be premonitions or
hallucinations. The action in the movie intersperses tension-building
dialog and dramatically shocking visuals with tremendous effectiveness.
The supporting cast is also exceptional in the roles and convince you
of the impact that Danika's visions are having upon them. Regina Hall
is especially impressive as Danika's psychologist.
I would highly recommend seeking this movie out if it comes to a festival or theater near you!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
It seems that many people couldn't understand this movie and were
unwilling to accept their own limitations and therefore decided the
movie was to blame. Reading some of those comments made me in turn
annoyed enough to post here for the first time. The short version for
those who haven't seen the movie is there is no 'twist' in the now
common cinematic style there is only the version inside Danika's head
and the revelation of the reality.
For the hard of understanding I'll break this down into simple terms. DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T YET SEEN THE MOVIE.
There are basically only 3 scenes in this movie.
1) Danika's fantasy life where she rejects the terrible thing that happened to her and tries to substitute her own reality. It doesn't work for her, she sees glimmers of reality through it (herself as a bag-lady, her "brother" dying from her "Mothers" neglect which is clearly her own guilt and many more). If you are looking for the reality of the movie imagine this is what is going through her head as she sits on the bench at the end of the movie. 2) The event that caused the break down, killing her kids. It is as though she is remembering the truth sitting on that bench but it is too painful for her and she quickly retreats back to the fantasy (her kids come back to life and join her and her husband) 3) The real world present day where she is down and out listening to parts of scene one and scene two replay in her head constantly courtesy of her Schizophrenia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia)
The whole film up into the last scene is there to give you an impression of what being her and being schizophrenic is. She completely believes her version of reality and the only way to share that impression with the viewer is to "lie" that this is the reality of the film right up until the final scene.
So yes this film has no plot, it's a snapshot of an insane mind. Yes Danika's over protective soccer mom persona is fundamentally unlikable but that person never existed, she is a reflection of her very real guilt over causing the death of her children.
The hallucinations within the scene one fantasy are perhaps the weakest part of the film, they are used as tool to keep a viewer interested long enough to see the film through and while the provide clues that nothing else that is happening is real or at least that there is some level of menatl issue. They do perhaps serve to confuse more than illuminate in some situations. They are however representative of the way a schizophrenic's beliefs may vary and may represent her additional fears and paranoia.
In short you are not ever likely to see a film that will give a better impression of what its like to be insane in this fashion (i.e. believing scene 1 is some kind of reality) but if you can't handle a film that does not have a completely sequential plot, or a writer changing the 'rules' of a film to make a point this will be wasted on you.
I watched quite a few films last year, and "Danika" made it to the top
of my list for intellectual quality and brilliance. It's hard to
comment on it without giving away details and spoilers, so let me just
say, this movie takes your full attention (don't cook dinner and try to
keep up!) Tomei is NEVER a disappointment. It's a wonder she isn't in
more films these days. She is a little older than her fresh-faced "Only
You" days, but time has settled kindly on her, giving her more
character instead of so-called 'flaws.' The ending will leave you in
somewhat of a stunned silence, and then you will sit there and watch
all of the loose ends tie themselves neatly together. You will not walk
away from this movie confused or wondering what it was all about -
unless you weren't paying close attention all along. I admit, there
will be boo-hooers who dislike it because they haven't the patience or
the depth to grasp the true meaning behind this film, but this is why
Danika is a work of art and it's star a true artist. If it were neat
and pat like any good mainstream film, it wouldn't be the hidden jewel
that it is. Many will pass it by, others will scoff and tear it apart.
Let them. Those who grasp it will be those who tend to think a bit
deeper than the first layer of the onion. Danika is a piece of abstract
art - viewing it from different angles, you will see details that
aren't visible to the casual onlooker.
Not for the squeamish, pick it up sometime and give it the credit it deserves!
Let's see: I had great expectations towards this film, since Danika
pretty much has the potential to be a fairly enjoyable thriller, but to
my disappointment, it turned out to be one of those films that
deliberately try to be confusing just for kicks. I don't know about the
others, but I'd say I had my share of these kinds of psychological
thrillers that usually lead to the same disappointing endings and
nonsensical sequences. You know, the typical soft-horror/thriller/drama
flick in which the main character keeps having hallucinations and
visions about horrible things happening around her and the rest of the
characters are dead worried but they still don't do anything to help
her out. Even though Ariel Vromen succeeds to create a puzzling
atmosphere and there are two or three enjoyable moments, I'd say that
these 'twist in the end' fever has been pretty much overdone already.
This film pretty much offers a nice variety of pointless hallucination
sequences in which Marisa Tomei, giving a flawless performance, always
repeats the same situations but in different scenarios. Obviously, it
ends up getting tedious after a a while.
'Danika' is the story of a genuinely desperate housewife, whose main fear is to lose one of her children or the three of them, for that matter. This obsession of overprotecting her kids, turns out to be the result of a traumatic childhood experience, in which poor little Danika loses her brother in a road accident. During the course of the film, the mentally unstable woman, appears basically smothering her children and over-worrying about every little thing, making the rest of her family lose their patience. However, it is clear to Danika that something is definitely not okay with her, as she realizes that she's experiencing weird hallucinations that turn her life into hell on earth.
This film offers a few sequences that promise some sort of explanation whatsoever or at least a tiny little connection to the end. Nevertheless, just like many other recent flicks out there with a twist in the end, 'Danika' turned out to be ambiguous for no reason and it tries to deceive the audience and doubt about their own intelligence. My advice is to avoid this film, unless you are bored and you have nothing else to see. I wouldn't label it as 'unwatchable', because that would be unfair, considering that there are a few good things that deserve to be appreciated, but it's mostly Marisa Tomei's performance actually. 'Danika' is not terribly bad, but frankly, I was utterly disappointed when the good atmosphere and the few achievements were suddenly overshadowed by the silly ending. I wouldn't recommend this... sorry.
Danika is about a young mother whose hallucinations and reality mix together in a strange story of a life gone wrong. A great family and nice life slowly deteriorates as experiences get stranger and stranger. The perfect life starts digressing with each flask of knowledge until the audience is left with nothing. In the end, everything comes together in a powerful tale of woe. Close to the end of the end of the film you are almost guessing what actually happened, but it does surprise. Tomei does a wonderful job and it is a wonder that she is not in more mainstream films. The rest of the cast does a nice job during the film. Technically a class A- film with few continuity errors and a typical story told in a very atypical way.
Psychological thriller .. well the thrills are a bit artificial and
unrelated to the story but there's a bit of suspension still.
Large parts of the movie happen in the main characters mind. The ending is crucial to the integrity of the story. Until you get there you're feeling a bit like "whats the point of this flick?".
I personally thought it was a bit too dragging and slow to rank anywhere higher than 7/10, but a decent psycho-drama still.
Makes you think a bit to understand what its about. Look at the vote statistics, very young people vote low for some weird reason :-)
Gave avg 5 pts for the implementation, but the ending raises it to 7. Of course the fact that you find your self wondering whats going on during the film also is very positive.

I think far too many people are going into this film thinking it's a
supernatural theme - it really isn't. I thought it would be as well
(based off of the DVD case description) and I was pleasantly surprised
to find that I was wrong about that when the final credits rolled.
Ultimately, this movie is a study of the effects of guilt on the human psyche and how our fears can ultimately consume us. Paying close attention to the movie is required to fully unravel the twist ending. If you're not watching it (or rewatching it) carefully, most likely you will miss out on important clues and end up disliking the movie. I thought the cast did an incredible job of being believable, especially Marisa who fluctuated beautifully between sanity and fantasy.
Is this the best movie I've ever seen? No... but I would recommend it to anyone who likes to be surprised.
One bit of advice for those people reading this review after watching the movie and not understanding it: go back and look >closely<, this time, to the items in the shopping cart at the end. Quite a few puzzle pieces that you need to put together to understand the twist are laid out perfectly for you.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
We really enjoyed the first part of DANIKA, but it got more and more
confusing as it went along. As the drama progressed, we held out hope
that the many questions we had would be answered, but that did not
happen. After the movie, we went online and searched and only THEN did
we feel like we partially understood the movie. There are still lots of
loose endings and unresolved questions, but maybe this movie was just
too "psychologically thrilling" for us to understand! :)
When all was said and done, it felt like a waste of 80 minutes of our time. If you are someone who enjoys tidy endings to movies, DON'T rent/buy this one.

Good twist, but far too many psychotic sequences leading to a bizarre feeling of what the heck this movie is about. To be honest the movie is quite bad until you understand the twist and u have to endure at least 75 min of a freak show before that.
Good leading performance.
Without managing to understand the movie I'd give it 1/10. With managing to understand the movie 6/10.
Not a popcorn movie......

At many interviews for faculty jobs these days, you'll be asked about assessment. Melissa Dennihy offers some ideas on how to answer.
I'm a liberal white faculty member, and I have a confession: I have no idea why other liberal white faculty members claim to be so afraid of their liberal students. In the past few months, anonymous (and sometimes not) white professors have started airing these fears, or re-airing them, as they are reminiscent of old complaints. The campus culture, they claim, has grown toxic, with faculty members carefully paring their syllabi to avoid any potentially uncomfortable material. A specter, they will tell you, is haunting universities -- the specter of political correctness, or radical liberalism, or identity politics.
The latest of these accounts, published recently in Vox under the pseudonym Edward Schlosser, is particularly unconvincing. Schlosser, an ostensibly liberal professor, conflates real problems -- the shifting of higher education toward a consumer experience (explained and deflated well here by Rebecca Schuman) and the absence of job protection for contingent faculty -- with ghosts conjured by paranoia. The generality of Schlosser's writing doesn't pass the sniff test; for example, he claims, "Personal experience and feelings aren't just a salient touchstone of contemporary identity politics; they are the entirety of these politics."
That sentence doesn't stack the deck so much as it replaces it entirely. And the oddly random anecdotes of feelings-driven radical liberalism don't add up; as in many invocations of the dangers of student liberalism, Twitter is a central go-to demon. The fundamental irony of Schlosser's essay is that he criticizes overreliance on emotional responses that students have, but the fear he describes ultimately seems like an overreliance on an emotional response by some white faculty members. Criticism from students -- whether it's over the reading choices, the assignments, the in-class dynamic -- isn't new, even if it develops out of students' political perspectives or not. Instructors have to learn to meet that criticism and engage it respectfully.
Finally, people of color are starkly underrepresented among full-time faculty members and face authority challenges in the classroom that white male faculty do not, so the growing concern about what the white professoriate can and cannot say seems laughable to me. Plus, for what it's worth, I'm a white male instructor unprotected by the tenure track, but I don't feel the fear Schlosser describes, and my academic friends and colleagues, both tenured and not, at a wide variety of institutions, either don't feel this fear or don't confess it to me.
All that said, I do think Schlosser's concern comes from meaningful, important questions: How do faculty members teach controversial material in an open, respectful forum where students can learn? And how can white male instructors approach issues of race, gender and sexual orientation with sensitivity? I teach first-year writing, creative writing and the personal essay, so each semester I regularly teach (and encounter in student writing) controversial material. If a student has raised a complaint about my handling of that material, it hasn't been mentioned to me. I don't assume to know every experience that might arise in the humanities classroom; I also can't claim I'm the exemplar of how to encounter controversial issues in the classroom. Based on my experience, though, I have suggestions below on how Schlosser and other fearful faculty can teach controversial material.
Know, and admit, the limits of your authority. All instructors try to prepare as comprehensively as possible, but we all enter the classroom with our blind spots, our little (and sometimes big) ignorance. If you help students understand both the background of knowledge you bring as well as the uncertainties and questions you ask of a subject, they likely will understand your perspective more fully and engage with the questions you want them to consider. You won't lose authority; rather, they'll grow to see, via your model, how they can enter into complex problems and develop their own authority. They'll also recognize the limits of their own knowledge, and that knowledge is fluid and limited.
Know, and admit, the extent of your authority. Faculty members are overwhelmingly, disproportionately white; department chairs more so. That's the main reason I can't take seriously this anonymous fear of retribution from liberal students: even at colleges with less diverse student populations, students still find more diversity among their peers than on the faculty. The resistance some white faculty members feel from students is, among other things, likely resistance to discovering the university as an ostensibly open environment that is still a sometimes unwelcome one for students of color. Even if we're trying to be welcoming, white faculty members, myself included, are part of the problem, whether we like it or not. (NB: We should not.) Acknowledging that disparity as part of the process of teaching difficult material can help students discuss that material openly.
Know your place -- or, rather, know the place you're in. While earning my Ph.D., I taught at an urban campus in the Midwest. In one first-year writing course, a student argued that affirmative action has given unfair opportunities to African-American students. In the course of the conversation, I asked the students what percentage of the student body they thought was African-American. One student, from a rural area, guessed 50 percent; no student guessed less than 25 percent. When I told them the percentage was actually under 10, well under the demographics of the city, state and nation the university was home to, they refused to believe me. (Had they looked around the room, they would have seen a single African-American student among the 18 of them.) When I showed them the university's website, the look of confused resistance that spread on their faces appalled me; one student continued disagreeing, saying there must be some mistake with the website -- an administrator had told him it was 25 percent.
Had I been more aware of the place I was in, I would have understood their reactions better. A colleague reminded me later that the university was bordered on two sides by predominantly African-American neighborhoods; the custodial staff and service workers on campus were also largely African-American. Many of the students came from predominantly white neighborhoods and rural areas; they'd never seen so many African-Americans, so their imaginations likely multiplied those numbers.
Wherever we are, we should remember that academe is a shorthand for extraordinarily diverse kinds of universities. That's why many of us resist when longtime tenured faculty from elite universities describe their experience as universal, a useful reminder that advanced age and advanced degrees don't necessarily confer wisdom. Knowing your own college or university culture more intimately will help you work more directly with your students, whether the subject matter is controversial or not.
Recognize your own emotional reactions. Fear has a way of magnifying itself. Just because you're afraid doesn't mean the thing you're afraid of is real. Along those lines, I'm skeptical of those who posit a split between the intellectual and emotional. Too many of the essays about fear of liberal students (especially Schlosser's in Vox) posit the fearful faculty as reasonable and the student body as unreasonably emotional. Not only does the fear some white faculty members describe seem like an emotional embellishment, conceiving of emotion and reason as disconnected opposites does a tremendous disservice to both. Yes, reason and logic can be dispassionate, even at times disconnected from our emotional responses, but to pretend that they must be ever thus in the humanities classroom ignores basic human experience. If you pretend as Wendy Kaminer does that the utterance of the n-word by a white person has a negligible emotional charge, you're committing an intellectual sin.
Explore your own bias, and never treat it as solved. I'm a white man born and raised in Arkansas. I've spent years working to understand the legacy of racism in my home state, and I've come to understand that, no matter how fully I try, I'll probably never filter from myself the last dregs of that legacy. Exploring that bias -- via Harvard University's Implicit Bias test, for example -- and acknowledging it to students can be a useful path to helping instructors and students recognize their own biases and develop a more complex understanding of their own emotional and intellectual responses.
When we discuss race in my classes, I tell my students of my background and acknowledge that, as careful as I try to be in thinking and speaking about race, I almost surely bring biases and emotional reactions I don't yet recognize. In my experience, that engages them with their own experience and the intellectual material we discuss. Along those lines, instructors can benefit from presenting themselves as learners. Both the best and the most frustrating students have an inherent mistrust of authority, I think. As an instructor, I do, too. My greatest pleasure in teaching is being surprised and enlightened by my students' work, especially their productive, constructive challenges to authority. And when they realize they've taught the instructor something, the students gain a useful confidence and foundation for the development of more complex ideas.
Teach difficult, controversial texts, paying particular attention to intellectual and cultural diversity. The avoidance of difficult material that Schlosser describes would be enormously counterproductive, of course, and faculty need to reconsider their syllabi in light of ongoing change. For example, I had long been proud to have a diverse list of poets and fiction writers in my creative-writing class. But when I reconsidered the syllabus last summer, I discovered that the poetry readings were less diverse and less focused on issues of race and gender than I had thought. So I adjusted the readings, adding in poems like June Jordan's "Poem About My Rights" and short stories like Percival Everett's "The Appropriation of Cultures," excellent writing that drew the students' attention to complex issues. Just as we discussed sound and sonnet structure in Gerard Manley Hopkins's "God's Grandeur," and image and figure in Marianne Moore's "Poetry," we discussed line breaks, anaphora, tone and race in Jordan's poem.
As sometimes happens, I encountered student fatigue with discussions of race (in this case in a discussion of Jordan's poem), only to discover what I think is often the source of that fatigue: many students see the beginning and end point of such discussions as "racism is bad." When reluctant students saw how the issues were more complicated and required more inquiry, they became more engaged and moved to more compelling insights about the poem and about race.
Make clear the potential discomforts and challenges of the course material. To many, that might sound like a trigger warning, but it actually isn't. On the first day of my classes, I mention that our reading (and possibly their writing, in creative-writing and personal-essay courses) will make us think in complicated, sometimes uncomfortable ways, about sexuality, race, gender and age, among other subjects. That isn't a trigger warning; it's simple politeness. Each class approaches its subject matter differently, and guiding students to your pedagogical approach helps them build the class dynamic more constructively. Trigger warnings, on the other hand, explicitly inform students about subject material that might trigger memories of trauma for those who've suffered that trauma. Though I don't include trigger warnings, it's frustrating that so many critics of trigger warnings conflate discomfort and trauma, ultimately misrepresenting the idea and design of trigger warnings.
If a student accuses you of hurting her/his feelings in a meaningful way, assume you're in the wrong before you assume you're in the right. This runs counter to the idea of "innocent until proven guilty," but it's a useful guide to self-awareness. (Bear in mind that I'm not arguing that departments should assume their faculty are in the wrong.) In academic and nonacademic contexts, I've seen plenty of people react immediately with a sharp defensiveness to all kinds of accusations, only to calcify that defense over time. (Full disclosure: I've been that person before and likely will be again.) Moving past the initial defensiveness, or converting the initial impulse into self-inquiry, can be useful in helping instructors consider their biases and emotional responses. Even if you and your colleagues decide you weren't in the wrong, avoiding the defensive impulse will make you a more perceptive teacher.
What I've written above isn't a comprehensive guide for scared white faculty; I've based it on my experience, so it's necessarily limited. I'm trying to keep myself malleable in the hope of becoming a better teacher. Students will change over time; decrying the loss of some golden age while warning of some encroaching PC liberalism screaming across the sky does the students no good.

Joya Misra and Jennifer Lundquist consider job (dis)satisfaction among associate professors.
Generally speaking, it is safe to say that most college commencements are the same. The students file past their camera-wielding relatives offering smiles and small, inconspicuous waves. A speaker invokes Robert Frost or Dr. Seuss or Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society to encourage the graduates to live lives of purpose and distinction. Degrees are conferred. A representative from the alumni organization urges these new alums to donate money to their school. The alma mater is sung. The young adults file back out.
And after, on the quad or the lawn or whatever the campus's green space is called, the professors unzip their robes, remove sweat-soaked tams and complain about the heat. They shake hands with parents, pose for photos with their now former students. They pronounce positive judgment on the graduates' plans for the immediate future. "Excellent." "Oh, that sounds great." "Hey, it's a foot in the door."
I graduated 16 years ago, from the very university where I have been teaching for the past three years. This is my final commencement, as my visiting assistant professorship is at an end. My second graduation, in a sense. I'm a middle-aged man now, but it doesn't seem that long ago that my classmates and I stood on this lawn, sipping lemonade and talking with our relatives and mentors about what was to come. It was an exciting time -- the future was pure potential. We don't realize, as students at commencement, that some doors are closing, or are already closed, that childhood is now finally at an end. The graduate will never take meals with a group of her best friends again. A mistake made at 20 may unexpectedly stay with a person for the rest of his life.
One may find oneself, at 39, grinning next to a 22-year-old as her mother snaps a picture, thinking, She doesn't know, yet, that life is going to be just a little bit harder from here on.
Of course, I wouldn't say such a thing out loud. There is no need to spoil this recognition of the graduates' accomplishments. I remind myself to be happy for these lives that are really just beginning. I remember to be grateful for my own blessings and opportunities. Besides, I wouldn't really want to experience my adolescence or young adulthood -- dating, career anxiety, acne -- again. The grown-up world may be hard and scary, but honestly, in many ways it's still better. Or at least, it is for me.
What's more, I think I know how to handle this world in a way that I didn't quite know how to handle the world I lived in as a youth. So I sip my lemonade as the alma mater plays in my mind and the wacky kid coasts by on his skateboard, cap still perched on his head but gown unzipped to reveal his cargo shorts and fraternity T-shirt. And for God's sake, I tell myself, it's a celebration. Smile.

Sometimes an academic has to ignore a few rules to get things done, writes Nate Kreuter.
Kerry Ann Rockquemore offers questions for pretenure academics to consider before getting active on controversial topics on social media.
It's important to be prepared for illegal questions, and to think through how you want to respond to them, writes Natalie Lundsteen.
Last week, the New York Times's "Opinionator" published an essay in which Christy Wampole decried the present state of humanities scholarship by holding up the worst forms of conference behavior to ridicule.
Let's be honest: all academics have groaned at plenary papers that go over the time limit or senior colleagues who assume their listeners will fully absorb their arguments even when delivered in a monotone with no attention to rhetorical context. These examples of inconsiderate academics are certainly not the norm, however, just as misbehavior or nastiness are not often the norm in any other professional arena.
Wampole herself admits to engaging in the narcissistic habit of answering emails during plenaries and having "listened for the first five minutes of the talk, just long enough to seize upon a word around which [she'll] construct a pseudoquestion in the Q and A." She includes herself among those who sometimes give a paper and then spend the rest of the conference at the pool bar.
To suggest as she does, however, that we should judge the quality or the future of the humanities by these unfortunate instances of a professional lack of grace is irresponsible. It is judging a profession by its lowest common denominator, and it obscures the good, important exchange of ideas and generation of knowledge that occurs at academic conferences year in and year out, throughout most academic careers.
It also feeds the worst stereotypes about academics that subsequently become fuel for political agendas across the country seeking to defund education at the great expense of America's future.
Of late, public critiques of the humanities have taken the explicit form of assertions that the disciplines have no practical value or contemporary relevance in a technological world. Implicitly, such critiques also manifest in persistent funding cuts to arts programs, in calls for exclusively STEM-based initiatives to improve our educational system, in claims about the unemployability of humanities graduates, even in assertions by some defenders of the disciplines that humanities knowledge is primarily good for business, economics or public-policy makers -- which imply that such knowledge and experience has no value if it cannot be turned to moneymaking.
But in the last few years, there has also been what feels like an exponential increase in those willing to engage in national conversations that ask, and attempt to answer, tough questions about these issues. Academics and nonacademics alike have filled the pages of The New York Times, Inside Higher Ed, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Atlantic and scores of other outlets with meditations on the costs of higher education humanities study, who is served, who is left out and the role of the humanities in shaping young minds or good citizens or brilliant scientists or desirable employees.
We are encouraged by this general willingness to engage in these tough intellectual conversations. At the same time, we are disheartened by the propensity of so many, both within higher education and outside of it, to rely upon the dismissive premise that academics largely exist in a secluded world in which they care only about their own infinitesimal research interests, which are esoteric at best, incomprehensible and a waste of taxpayers' money at worst.
This is not to suggest we should not all, as professionals, always strive to make our practices better, to keep pace with the times, to question our own assumptions and habits, to identify honestly what is not working, and to change it where we can. However, it is to suggest that perhaps a better model for doing so is one that is based on the notion that academics -- as teachers, researchers, mentors and institutional colleagues -- go into their chosen profession with the desire to advance knowledge through collaborative means.
Contrary to the misrepresentation of academic conferences as attended only by dreary caricatures of the out-of-touch professor rambling on about irrelevant ideas, most conferences we attend are places where we try out ideas among our colleagues, launch collaborations, consider the pedagogical and public import of our findings, mentor graduate students, and participate in the transformations of our fields in ways that make us better teachers and better researchers.
Many of us value conferences for both private and professional reasons, as David M. Perry points out in his May 6 Chronicle of Higher Education response to Wampole's essay, and as Devoney Looser has recently enumerated in her Chronicle guide to conference etiquette. We, like both of them, encourage thinking about conferences as an important means of entry into our disciplinary communities.
Conferences help to provide what many faculty cannot find at their home institutions: a community of minds focused on a particular issue. For faculty members everywhere but the Ivy League or a very well-funded public university, inviting speakers to campus who can give lectures and seminars on the latest research ideas or programmatic innovations is not a given, nor is access to a world-class research library. These facts are especially true in the context of many states' perilous hollowing out of the financial support for public colleges and universities.
As faculty numbers continue to shrink, academics often find themselves a party of one in their departments, working as the sole representative of a particular field, without immediate access to colleagues in their fields of expertise. Done well, an academic conference offers a chance for collegial dialogue of the sort that can lead to tangible progress. When faculty members attend conferences, students and their institutions also directly reap the benefits.
Conferences can be particularly important for scholars of color and others who find themselves disenfranchised by administrations and by institutionalized injustices on their own campuses. Although we recognize that unfortunately many conferences have a long way to go to truly support marginalized academic communities, we are encouraged by those we have seen working explicitly to foster this kind of inclusivity.
For many faculty members struggling with the isolation of being seen as a "representative" member of an underrepresented group, conference networking can be a crucial path for figuring out how to navigate their own institutions, for dealing with the microaggressions of students, administrators and other faculty, and for coping with the additional and unique responsibilities they often face alone of mentoring minority student populations or administering programs. Conferences also have the potential to be sites for the birth of activism, where communities both formal and informal unite to make changes in how things are done, how people are treated and how certain ideas are valued.
Conferences are, in other words, even more important for those not privileged by mainstream academic cultures than they are for the elites. A researcher at Princeton has regular access to communities of scholarship that would be completely unknown to most attendees of a scholarly conference. Perhaps most depressingly, such intellectual communities are often nonexistent for the contingent faculty who are rarely fully integrated members of their own departments and who, despite being engaged in rigorous research, cannot attend conferences even when they want to because their institutions do not support the professional development of these integral members of their communities.
Wampole submits that "conferences feel necessary, but their purpose is unclear." While the exact form that conference collaborations take might usefully be retooled, their purpose in supporting innovations in research, teaching, administration or activism could not be more clear. The process of making a productive contribution to research depends upon knowing what people already know, and this is significantly aided by the feedback of other scholars working on similar or related questions. Even as we acknowledge the legitimate problem of the environmental impact of that much travel, we don't think anything can fully substitute for the intellectual experience of hearing a good plenary talk followed by a vigorous debate that is the catalyst for deeper conversations throughout the conference. Published scholarship is essential, but it takes time to develop, and face-to-face conversations and the accountability conferences provide are a great way to incubate ideas that are just being formed.
Could conferences be better? Of course they could, but they are organized and run by groups of committed faculty members or the staff they have hired to help them, who do their best despite inevitable budget constraints and competing time demands. Instead of focusing on the problem of boredom, how about addressing truly meaningful problems, like the economic barriers to participation for graduate students and less financially privileged researchers, or lessening the impact of mass travel on the environment, or the lack of child care resources, or the way such conferences are misrepresented in the anti-intellectual popular media?
Here is the bottom line: conferences are created by the faculty they serve. They are not merely events where we put ourselves on display or where we criticize from an outside position -- they are collaborative ventures. Faculty researchers do not just attend their conferences; they own them. And so, we offer the following countermanifesto.
A Conference Manifesto for the Rest of Us:
(1) We will consider the quality of the conferences we attend as our own responsibility. If we are unhappy with the structure, we will contact the organizing committee or form a coalition to initiate changes to the obstacles that limit the conference's success. (We know of one such coalition currently forming in response to a lack of female presenters at a major conference, and this is not an isolated example.)
(2) We will strive to be precise and productive. We will offer meaningful rather than petty critiques, strive not to generalize from extreme examples and, as much as possible, focus on useful alternatives rather than finger pointing.
(3) If we are not in a position of power, or we feel too disaffected to contribute to positive solutions at a structural level, then we will be the change we seek in our individual interactions. If a scholar presents a paper in which the larger purpose is not clear, we will ask him about that purpose during the Q and A. If it is clear that a speaker is having trouble articulating an argument, we will help her see what it is. We will attend as many events as we can, offer real feedback and participate in real discussions. Put more simply, we will continue to be generous.
(4) We will acknowledge academic generosity where we find it, namely:
(5) We will be humble. We will recognize that although humanists are excellent at being critical, we are fortunate to have these communities to help us improve our research.
(6) We will attempt always to get over ourselves. Our presentations may be great, but they aren't perfect.
(7) And finally, we will be aware. We will continue to think carefully about how we use the resources invested in us as scholars. It appears to us that the humanities are at least beginning to be recognized as having both intrinsic and extrinsic values, and it is up to us to communicate those values to people who doubt both, rather than to reinforce stereotypes through exclusionary rhetoric or condescension. We posit that there is real value in the thoughtful public intellectual, and we will work to be scholars who are willing to ask hard questions about our own work, to engage in thorny debates about priorities, to radically reimagine what higher education might look like in the 21st century and to challenge the parameters or privileges of our own positions. We will make sure that we can clearly show why our work matters, because no matter how frustrating conferences can be, they are places where humanities scholarship does some of its most important work.
