Every undergraduate in the U.S., regardless of major or career path, deserves a core education in the liberal arts. This is the tradition that has informed republics throughout history, and our own republic desperately needs it today.

What can we learn from #Trump's historical references in the #SOTU? What are the origins of U.S. law? Why do past republics matter for U.S. citizens?

I answer these questions in my latest here.

Christine de Pizan on the purpose of #leisure:
"Leisure does not mean to do nothing physical, but means any joyful work or sport that will refresh understanding, because the sensitive qualities of the soul become weak from long attention to study.”

[Steele Brand @steele_brand]

Professors & Teachers should be wise and virtuous, "because the good morals that the student sees in his tutor, and the wise words and countenance he experiences provide both an education and a mirror for him."
-Christine de Pizan

Jesus was a political atheist. What does that mean and how should that impact what we think of politics?

Having now seen the movie Godzilla (2014), I am convinced by the film's argument that one should trust Godzilla more than the government.
I am not saying it is wise to trust Godzilla, merely that Godzilla is more trustworthy and competent than Leviathan.

Fellow professors who give writing in page amounts:
WHY?
Why the spectacle of specifying margins, font, font size, headers, kerning, line spacing, footers, etc. when you could just say "2500 words" instead?
