Communications Strategy
I’ve been given a communications strategy “capstone” class for the upcoming term. My students and I will be scanning for examples from around the world starting day one. Expect more frequent posting from me going ahead!
This will be worth an outing
I don’t want to miss this. Unsurprisingly, I could not find any list of distributors, tables, events, etc., anywhere. It will be a surprise! — Addendum:

Oliver Sacks
I remember the bookstore in Buffalo where I found “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat” in 1985. I finished the book before I went to bed. Starting the next day, I relied on the work of Oliver … Continue reading
Happy American Thanksgiving
Even though I live in Canada, there is no holiday more meaningful to me than American Thanksgiving, having been raised south of here. I always obey the name, and spend the day reflecting in gratitude.
