Proceedings

The purpose of this occaisonal blog will be to

1. chronicle my engagement with literature and students in sociology courses -- I am a sociology professor,
2. periodically address news of the day -- I am a left political ecologist (though exactly what that means continues to emerge), and
3. heap praise upon or rant about the St. Louis Cardinals -- I lived in St. Louis, as a very little boy, for the 1964, 1967 and 1968 World Series' and have been hooked ever since (though I am not a fan of Tony LaRussa).
