In class last night, our professor was telling us about the politics of the academic world. She noted that although she tends to run in geography scholar circles, particularly because some of her research takes her into that world, she does not have a degree in geography. She noted that in that world, scholars tend to introduce themselves by saying "Hi, Im __, I'm a geographer." She said that she can never do that because she only has "geography tendencies."
I imagined her in a room full of geographers and responding to their introductions by saying, "Hi, I'm____, I have geography tendencies."
Questions
Also, in this class, two important questions came up during discussion that I wanted to record.
1. (Particularly in relation to academia) Does increasing complexity lead to paralysis in action? - Mehret
2. As a researcher, where are you starting the story ?- Professor Sweet
