The Circumambulation Begins
September 19, 2007 in Odds and Ends, Uncategorized by Cyrus
Bryan Waterman and Cyrus R. K. Patell are collaborating on a cultural history of New York City. Its title is yet to be determined. In this blog, we will report on our wanderings through the city’s past and present. Our goal is to create an informative but entertaining history that will serve as an introduction to the city’s culture — its literary and artistic production — and its cultures — its different peoples and traditions. So put on your mental walking shoes and let’s circumambulate the city together.
About Us
Scholars for Haiti
“Scholars for Haiti” is a fund-raising initiative that is collecting donations for the aid organization, Partners in Health, run by Paul Farmer and Ophelia Dahl. Click here for details and please consider making a contribution (be it ever so small!) if you are able to do so.
The initiative is also sponsoring a Facebook event, where you can post links and follow some discussion concerning the historical dimensions of the current tragedy. Click here to enter.
