rss feed- Ljubljana, Slovenia: MICY Colloquium October 14th-18th 2009 October 31, 2009The 2nd Motivation for Innovation and Creativity of Youth (MICY) international colloquium held in Ljubljana, Slovenia was truly outstanding. It was an absolute pleasure to walk the scenic streets of Ljubljana as take in the historic pastel architecture, alpine surroundings, and rich culture which is mostly unaffected by tourists. However, the best part of […]jorees

- Telling it like it is…… September 22, 2009This is just something that I’ve been thinking about today. If you go through a very negative experience are you supposed to label it as positive to please others? Surprisingly yes. Many just don’t want to know about the bad times and prefer just to hear about the good. In fact, saying anything else could [...]jorees

My career is my passion and I feel thrilled to work in the fine arts/art education. There is a saying when you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life. Research, learning, teaching, and art-making are extremely fulfilling activities [...]jorees
- Art and Gender Studies Artwork Take 4 June 12, 2009That last installment of this series. please click here, here, and here to view the series in its entirety. These images are intended to be viewed together as a series and should be considered as such. As my artists statement indicates this series concerns the depiction of the body in wet-drapery and the modern action of [...]jorees
- Art and Gender Studies Artwork Take 3 May 15, 2009From creating these images two things have become clear. Firstly, that the role of women has greatly evolved from classical times in which they wore wet drapery and secondly that the act of shaving is a very sensuous activity that is intended to physically attract. Hence there are many contradictions present in these photographs. Over the [...]jorees

- Comment on Does anyone know of a good Chinese tutor in Taipei? by Terry Waltz October 22, 2009I tutor Chinese; have a Ph.D in teaching Mandarin, certified teacher and national-level Mandarin teaching presenter in the US. I'm no longer based in Taiwan, though, (although I was for about 10 years) so it would be through videoconferencing. I've been making my living using Chinese for 25 years now. My e-mail is available on my translation servic […]Terry Waltz
- Comment on A report on post-secondary teaching salaries in Canada and the U.S. by J October 21, 2009Yeah I am in a Canadian PhD program right now and I have observed where my colleagues are going. About half of the people I know get jobs in the States and the other half get jobs in Canada. However, I attribute this partially to the fact that there are so many more schools in the states. Does the U.S. have something like SSHRC? Because I know that makes a b […]J
- Comment on A report on post-secondary teaching salaries in Canada and the U.S. by jorees October 21, 2009This is very sobering news J and I have heard that this year things are very bad for American academics. Believe it or not I am in the process of applying to finish my PhD in the US and have been told that the states is the place to be in terms of money and research. Of course this depends on the job you are to receive and how ambitious you are in terms of r […]jorees

- Comment on A report on post-secondary teaching salaries in Canada and the U.S. by J October 13, 2009Of course you wouldn't make very much money at a University College since they are not really considered to be real universities (they are more like community colleges and don't have very big endowments). You note that in the U.S: "By rank, the average was $91,548 for professors, $65,113 for associate professors, $54,571 for assistant professo […]J

The information I posted was not damning or insulting to any individual or any company, but […]Sympathiser
