...or any other expression that welcomes you to this page.
Ready to begin Spring 2010 - and we have two VERY difficult years ahead of us.
The California University system has adopted furloughs for this year - and I am NOT going to use this page to tell you how bad it is. But do join the campaign http://savethecsu.com and you'll know more about it.
However, I have great news for 2010/2011. After some years trying, I have received a NEH fellowship for my project on the Guanabara Bay! I am very, very happy, but I have no more excuses: now I MUST finish the book.
Spring 2010 promises lots of great things... other than a 4/4 teaching load. ASEH in Portland, OR, in March; SOLCHA in La Paz, Mexico in June, and at least two weddings of some of my favorite people in the meanwhile...
Our book series Latin American Landscapes, with the University of Arizona Press, should edit its first book very soon, and my co-editor Chris Boyer has been absolutely great. It is so good to work with brilliant people.
But while I am in winter break, how can I help you, my dear visitor? Everything depends on YOU. What do you need from this site? In fact, why are you here???
If you are a student, go to Teaching and you can find my syllabi and office hours. If you are a colleague, maybe you want to know my research interests - there is a page for you too.
If you are a friend, just send me an email. I would love to hear from you.
