This talk by Scott Hess, Assistant Professor of English at Earlham College, is on the ethical importance of sense of place (both social and environmental) in the context of globalization, and on how the liberal arts college experience educates students (or fails to educate them) for awareness of place.

The convocation will be held at Tuesday June 24th at 7 PM in Goddard Auditorium, on the campus of Earlham College in Richmond.

i'm taking two online classes this semester, and we're suppose to post in "journals," that our professors get to read, but are otherwise private. though we're expected to post to it twice a week. i didn't "get it" at first and was putting my posts on top of each other (deleting the old).
