Brainstorming about history, politics, literature, religion, and other topics from a 'gypsy' scholar on a wagon hitched to a star.

I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

thanks for stopping by my blog...love the hell freezing over; I posted the same one a few weeks ago :)...I am an associate professor of geography but try to keep my "academic" side out of my blog...it is purely for ranting, but I was interested to find another academic out here doing the same thing....
You're welcome, and thanks for visiting here -- and for letting me steal that frozen-over, hellish sign.
I don't rant much and tend to put my academic life into my blog . . . in lieu of actually publishing articles . . . .
yes, I do the same thing; the in lieu bit. I wonder if we can somehow cite our blogs as publications?
Jeffery,
Shall I save you a seat in church this Sunday?
I just heard on the radio that it's supposed to go down into the 30s tonight so who knows, maybe the basement of the church will freeze as well.
Nomad, let's first wait and see if ALL of Hell freezes over.
For all we know, merely Hell's outskirts, perhaps far from its central fires, have been hit by a big chill.
Or possibly this frozen scene comes from the sectors of Hell that, by tradition, are said to be characterized by ice rather than by fire.
In short, too soon to judge . . .
