SAN FRANCISCO — When Liz DeRouen needs any kind of health care services, from diabetes counseling to a dental cleaning, she checks into a government-funded clinic in Northern California’s wine country that covers all her medical needs. Her care and the medical services for her children and grandchildren are paid for as part of the government’s treaty obligations to American...

Rip it up (not really)
I realized all of a sudden that my dissertation chapters were getting a little out of control. I think on my chapter map/outline plan I had 12 chapters or something ridiculous like that. I think in an earlier stage of planning and writing this thing out, smaller chapters seemed more manageable. Like if I take a bunch of little things, it adds up to one BIG thing? AMIRITE?
BUT it wasn’t...

New ways of looking at the North →
A social anthropologist and a photographer from Toronto are working on projects aiming to dispel common myths about life in the North. Dr. Lindsay Bell of the University of Toronto and her research partner, Jesse Jackson, were in Hay River last week to examine various public spaces and analyze how people interact within them.
Yay Lindsay! Always nice to see colleagues in the news, especially...

Some days I open up a current dissertation chapter word doc and things are great! I think to myself, hey, this isn’t half bad! You’re not a total idiot! This makes sense! I see where you’re, um, I’m going with this!!! Etc.
Other days (LIKE TODAY) it’s the opposite. Everything I write reads as soooo stupid and terribly written but I try to write a few paragraphs...
Why am I such a klutz?????
So far this morning, I spilled water all over the place while watering plants. THEN I dropped one of the plants and got dirt everywhere. THEN I spilled coffee all over the floor. And it’s not even 8am yet. Maybe I should just go back to bed.
