- Made it to Barnard in time for the second half of the American Studies/NYC conference. #
- Random observation: audience is 95% female. #
- Apparently in the morning session there was some commentary about a lack of NYC/Am studies focusing on periods before 1900. Hmm. #
- Rachel Adams talking abt Columbia’s Am Stds: When Art Spiegelman offered a course, he did it out of his studio so he could smoke in class. #
- Adams: Columbia’s gateway course for the Am Studies major is service-learning driven: working w/ low-income, immigrant populations. #
- This room has a Tiffany fireplace that is kind of amazing. #Barnard #
- Sarah Chinn (Hunter) just gave a nice shout out to our friends @metplayhouse — she’s talking abt New York Metro Area Am Stds Assn. #
- Chinn on the challenges of organizing regional Am Stds in NYC: everyone has a hundred other things to go to on any given day. #
- Arlene Davila representing AMST at NYU — check out her recent book on el barrio: http://bit.ly/daYY8v #
- Davila: doing AmSt in NYC, at NYU or other major institutions, is a bit of working in the belly of the beast. True dat. #
- Davila on what makes AmSt at NYU unique — it was ahead of the game in putting ethnic studies at the center. #
- Davila: Plus Andrew Ross, when he took over the program in the mid 90s, insisted on ethnography being the central methodology. #
- My computer’s going to die, which means this riveting live tweeting of the NYC/AmSt workshop will come to an end. #
- I’m itching for the bike ride back downtown. #
- Davila on the tensions btwn a PhD program in AmSt w/i a department (Social and Cultural Analysis) whose faculty aren’t all invested in AmSt. #
- Still to come: Robert Fanuzzi (English, St. John
