Earlier this summer, while preparing for my Intro to Strategic Studies & International Relations course, I looked through my lectures on Said, Fanon, Spivak, & Foucault...and I had a moment when I said to myself: "You know all this stuff?!" 😎

So proud of my student here!
Look how the student weaves Said, Fanon, Spivak, and Foucault, with the Battle of Algiers example, and hits key pillars in the exercise of hegemony: culture, violence, territory, identity, demographic control, biopolitics...👌 A+
This is why I adore teaching so much 🙏

I used to go to the opera almost every weekend when I lived in Europe. Opera singers have a way of moving you. Without understanding the words, their voices seep into your soul & body & you just know the stories.
