Freed writes of her mother’s cerebral hemorrhage and its aftermath. She captures the surreality of the world continuing to spin in the midst of crisis. Her mother has a stroke on the driveway, as “The chipmunks raced on round the junipers. / The sun went on bleaching the clapboards.” A matter-of-factness speaks to the gravity of the moment: sometimes facts are all we can express. Freed’s poems are precise, but never unfeeling, and she is alert to the moments when words won’t take us where we need to go. These poems operate in the deepest wells of experience: fear and frustration and love and pain. “If I can name what I miss, / will I know where to look — / how to find it in her?”</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 20px 0px;">Here website is here: <a href="https://jfreed.weebly.com/">https://jfreed.weebly.com/</a></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 20px 0px;">Here is Jennifer's bio:</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 20px 0px;"><br style="color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Lora; font-size: 19px; text-align: center; word-spacing: 0.19px;" /><span style="color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Lora; font-size: 19px; text-align: center; word-spacing: 0.19px;">Jennifer L.

Listen as she describes her journey form a young teacher who set out to teach French to a master teacher who realizes the classroom experience is about changing lives and helping young people transform. Catherine thinks about the classroom and her students in a wholistic and inspirational way. While this is a valuable conversation for everyone, it is particularly important for young people who might be thinking about becoming a teacher. Catherine makes a powerful case for transforming the lives of students one class at a time. Here is how Catherine describes herself: "I am a career classroom teacher in a public middle school. I have been teaching French in rural Massachusetts since 1989. Becoming a public school teacher is the best decision I have made in my life. It's been an incredible ride. If you know a young person who is interested in becoming a teacher, I hope that you will encourage them with enthusiasm."</span></p><p><span face="Maax, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #5f6369; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span></p><div class="css-1gi8oal" style="background-color: white; border-radius: 6px; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 2px 6px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: Maax, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; max-width: 940px; padding: 42px; width: 940px;"><div class="css-1k4ndg2" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: flex;"><div class="css-i635s6" style="-webkit-box-pack: justify; box-sizing: border-box; display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex: 1 1 0%; justify-content: space-between; margin-left: 42px;"><div class="css-xfegs1" style="-webkit-box-pack: center; align-items: flex-end; box-sizing: border-box; display: flex; flex-direction: column; height: 72px; justify-content: center; margin-top: 22px;"><div class="css-114whvc" style="-webkit-box-pack: justify; box-sizing: border-box; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; margin: 0px; width: 240px;"><div class="css-hcguw2" style="box-sizing: border-box; height: 46px; position: relative; width: 46px;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="102px" scrolling="no"

Charlotte is a Professor of English at Duke and recently the author of Peopling the World. One website explains: Through a literary lens, Professor<span style="background-color: white; color: #292f36; font-family: Maax, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><a href="https://scholars.duke.edu/person/charlotte.sussman" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #5000b9; font-family: Maax, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Charlotte Sussman</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #292f36; font-family: Maax, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #292f36; font-family: Maax, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">examines the 18th-century shift in Britain’s understanding of the value of human reproduction, the vacancy of the planet and the necessity of moving people around to fill its empty spaces. In Milton’s 1667 “Paradise Lost,” Adam and Eve are promised they will produce a “race to fill the world,” a thought that consoles them after the fall. By 1798, the idea that the world would one day be entirely filled by people had become a nightmarish vision in Malthus’s “Essay on the Principle of Population.” Sussman places these and other texts in the context of debates about scientific innovation, emigration, cultural memory and colonial settlement.</span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #292f36; font-family: Maax, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #292f36; font-family: Maax, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></p><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #292f36; font-family: Maax, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div>

As I think about it, I am very proud to be your classmate. Have I supported every decision and every statement a classmate has ever made? Of course not. Have some actions of our classmates been difficult to watch, or even worthy of condemnation? Yes. But, the sum of our experience is not to be taken from a single incident, a single statement, or a single person. Our measure as a class is and should remain the contributions we all have made, and will continue to make, for the betterment of our classmates' lives, the Yale community and the communities in which we live. When I take that measure, I see people who stand for what they believe, who live remarkable lives, and who make their world, and ours, better. Some do it in private ways – by raising amazing children, building businesses, healing the sick, advancing human knowledge and understanding and a myriad other ways you will never read about in the paper or hear about on a news show. Some live their lives more publicly, sharing their views through art, literature, film, legal activism, public service and politics. And, some have inspired others by battling difficult odds with grace and dignity. As a whole, our class is an engaged group of people from which I continually draw inspiration. So, I would ask that as you consider our class and its legacy, that you take a broad view and consider the breadth of what our classmates have accomplished and the lives they have lived.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">I would also ask that as you come to Reunion you do so remembering that we cannot know the experiences our classmates have had since that Labor Day weekend in 1983 when we first met. So, please respect where people are coming from and where they've been. Take the time to listen -- to truly listen -- to each other. You need not agree with, or even like, everyone in our class. But, I would ask that you take the time to respectfully consider their point of view.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">I would also ask that you take the time to enjoy the full weekend that has been planned. Some of it is serious, some of it is silly, most of it is social. Find your people. Find some new people. And, try to enjoy being together.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">For each of us, Yale was a gift, the worth of which it has taken 35 years to fully appreciate. The Reunion is about being thankful for that gift, enjoying each other's company once again, and maybe, just maybe, finding a way to enrich our lives and the lives of those we love just a little bit more.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicxQFHnT0YanSKCm_hm5u48l7gNgC6y45YvQnu0RfnPaKF7NjsLY95Sl4LHfX0UORuVa2Rt6HSQwdt9e0MvFCeT57_Q-pc6MXhuIjAn7NpT_peiX4Bft1iGnvYqjwn_k_damQq8XGYhMShFHBEOPBsc8WpPVeMduBquDvmsgcyoZkbsC9y7bZE1B28KQ/s2048/y87.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1183" data-original-width="2048" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicxQFHnT0YanSKCm_hm5u48l7gNgC6y45YvQnu0RfnPaKF7NjsLY95Sl4LHfX0UORuVa2Rt6HSQwdt9e0MvFCeT57_Q-pc6MXhuIjAn7NpT_peiX4Bft1iGnvYqjwn_k_damQq8XGYhMShFHBEOPBsc8WpPVeMduBquDvmsgcyoZkbsC9y7bZE1B28KQ/s320/y87.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;"><br /></span><p></p>Tim Harknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03558320371262011408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500546256434135652.post-80331691672229086162022-04-21T17:01:00.005-04:002022-04-21T17:01:34.452-04:00Who Cares What Happens to Bootprints on the Moon? | Michelle Hanlon | TEDxUniversityofMississippi<p> Classmate Michelle Hanlon is a space lawyer, that is she specializes in the law of outer space. </p><p>Listen to her recent, super-interesting Ted Talk:</p><p><br /></p>

Michael brings the expertise and experience necessary for this important position at a critical time for our economy and families across the country. </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a2458; font-family: MercurySSm-Book-Pro_Web, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 28.16px; margin: 0px auto 25px; max-width: calc(50% - 20px); padding: 0px; width: 615px;">Since I took office, the economy has created nearly 8 million jobs, and millions of families have the dignity a paycheck can provide and a little bit more breathing room. I know that rising prices and inflation are straining families’ budgets. While I’m doing everything in my power to lower prices for families, the Federal Reserve plays a critical role in fighting inflation and Barr will make a strong Vice Chair for Supervision, joining my other nominees for the Federal Reserve that the Senate is considering.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a2458; font-family: MercurySSm-Book-Pro_Web, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 28.16px; margin: 0px auto 25px; max-width: calc(50% - 20px); padding: 0px; width: 615px;">Barr has spent his career protecting consumers, and during his time at Treasury, played a critical role in creating both the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the position for which I am nominating him. He was instrumental in the passage of Dodd-Frank, to ensure a future financial crisis would not create devastating economic hardship for working families. Barr has strong support from across the political spectrum—and has been confirmed by the Senate on a bipartisan basis. And, he understands that this job is not a partisan one, but one that plays a critical role in regulating our nation’s financial institutions to ensure Americans are treated fairly and to protect the stability of our economy.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a2458; font-family: MercurySSm-Book-Pro_Web, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 28.16px; margin: 0px auto 25px; max-width: calc(50% - 20px); padding: 0px; width: 615px;">I will work with Senate Banking Committee Chair Sherrod Brown to move Barr’s nomination forward quickly, and urge the Senate to swiftly confirm the four eminently qualified nominees for the Board of Governors—Jerome Powell, Lael Brainard, Philip Jefferson, and Lisa Cook—currently awaiting a vote.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a2458; font-family: MercurySSm-Book-Pro_Web, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 28.16px; margin: 0px auto 25px; max-width: calc(50% - 20px); padding: 0px; width: 615px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: MercurySSm-Bold-Pro_Web, serif;">Michael Barr<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span>Michael S. Barr is currently the Joan and Sanford Weill Dean of the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, the Frank Murphy Collegiate Professor of Public Policy, the Roy F. and Jean Humphrey Proffitt Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School, and the founder and faculty director of the University of Michigan’s Center on Finance, Law & Policy. At the Law School, Barr taught Financial Regulation and International Finance, and co-founded the International Transactions Clinic and the Detroit Neighborhood Entrepreneurs Project.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a2458; font-family: MercurySSm-Book-Pro_Web, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 28.16px; margin: 0px auto 25px; max-width: calc(50% - 20px); padding: 0px; width: 615px;">Barr served in the Obama Administration as the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s assistant secretary for financial institutions, and was a key architect of the Dodd-Frank Act. He also served the National Economic Council in the White House. In the Clinton Administration, Barr served as Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin’s special assistant, as deputy assistant secretary of the Treasury, as special adviser to President Clinton, and as a special adviser and counselor on the policy planning staff at the U.S. Department of State.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a2458; font-family: MercurySSm-Book-Pro_Web, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 28.16px; margin: 0px auto 25px; max-width: calc(50% - 20px); padding: 0px; width: 615px;">Barr served as a law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter during October Term 1993, and previously to the Hon. Pierre N. Leval, then of the Southern District of New York. He received his JD from Yale Law School, his MPhil in international relations as a Rhodes Scholar from Magdalen College, Oxford University, and his BA, summa cum laude, with honors in history, from Yale University.</p><div><br /></div>Tim Harknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03558320371262011408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500546256434135652.post-18070293401618901392022-04-21T06:30:00.001-04:002022-04-21T06:30:00.182-04:00Kevin Berlin -- new podcast episode<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaU1QLjWTWgJawLoztVOWXEuVnt572Z0yGX9zWEvHzuyxyUZzOu5dhxDEmB2nljn4gRDRctTkpXE4KOH4XWY_tgFYn5uGgZwlA86qfRU8eS4NQ5AwzoHpTvOABW1a--SEuMjLRj50YLb-QhcjKQOerXYNC19GH7LfjkQbnHDvi-rK0YuwYMyn5qLxw4Q/s3000/kevin_berlin_sculpture.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="2885" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaU1QLjWTWgJawLoztVOWXEuVnt572Z0yGX9zWEvHzuyxyUZzOu5dhxDEmB2nljn4gRDRctTkpXE4KOH4XWY_tgFYn5uGgZwlA86qfRU8eS4NQ5AwzoHpTvOABW1a--SEuMjLRj50YLb-QhcjKQOerXYNC19GH7LfjkQbnHDvi-rK0YuwYMyn5qLxw4Q/s320/kevin_berlin_sculpture.jpg" width="308" /></a></div><br /><span face="spotify-circular, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: #292f36; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span face="spotify-circular, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: #292f36; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Kevin Berlin is a unique fixture in our class.

Elite colleges made these tests optional during COVID. The question is: will that last? This is an academic question for some, but for those with children who will be applying to college soon, this is a very concrete issue. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times;">In the current environment, to submit or not submit test scores is a matter of strategy. Accordingly to the College Board, only 43% of applicants submitted scores in the applications submitted for the first year college students who entered college in 2021. More importantly, those submitting scores were not random.

During the conversation, Tom kept talking about the climate change "debate," so I asked him what he meant by that. I was surprised by his answer. It was thought provoking and important. Take a listen. Bring an open mind. And, think about how Tom's perspectives might inform our the class discussion about climate change and solutions to it.</span></p><p><span face="Maax, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #292f36; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUxpdrB8ByYqMMSrbR7BfDUfrwgSgXEtiVEmh95BI-8mQ1PQw6Re6gisvaOBZ8JkP7PasaeRU7jCH877N067EfJdy28ny-H7KTll-zeAU-MjvrR2064Gc44toML34pW26USrd4Stwc6k70OSX82ILgJRhhE_ClhPsvwBJDMVZdCaHp1iHxNGIHKMqgkA/s2048/McNulty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1462" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUxpdrB8ByYqMMSrbR7BfDUfrwgSgXEtiVEmh95BI-8mQ1PQw6Re6gisvaOBZ8JkP7PasaeRU7jCH877N067EfJdy28ny-H7KTll-zeAU-MjvrR2064Gc44toML34pW26USrd4Stwc6k70OSX82ILgJRhhE_ClhPsvwBJDMVZdCaHp1iHxNGIHKMqgkA/s320/McNulty.jpg" width="228" /></a></div><br /><span face="Maax, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #292f36; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span><p></p><div><span face="Maax, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #292f36; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span></div>

I would recommend you take a read. Here's how it begins:</p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: nyt-imperial, georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 20px;">Since the Yale cognitive scientist Laurie Santos began teaching her class Psychology and the Good Life in 2018, it has become one of the school’s most popular courses. The first year the class was offered, nearly a quarter of the undergraduate student body enrolled. You could see that as a positive: all these young high-achievers looking to learn scientifically corroborated techniques for living a happier life. But you could also see something melancholy in the course’s popularity: all these young high-achievers looking for something they’ve lost, or never found.

I’ll have conversations with first-year students on campus who will ask what fourth class they should take to make sure they get that job at Google by the time they’re 24. They come in planning this set of next steps, in part because that’s how they got here in the first place. They think that’s how you get the carrots.

They were mostly from a small set of prep schools. We opened that up. In theory, anyone on the planet, if they “put in enough work and are smart enough,” can get into Yale — bracketed by the real cultural boundaries, structures of racism and all the other isms, but that’s the idea. There’s also the sense that the spoils of the war are really high: If you go to Yale, that’s going to open up opportunities that won’t happen if you don’t. Lythcott-Haims’s argument is that when the spoils of war get big, there becomes a nuclear-arms race for who gets in, and that parenting has changed to push children to be thinking about this stuff. They develop this implicit belief that there is a path that’s correct, and if you can figure out the Easter eggs, you can be on it. It’s something I feel on campus so much.
