A week of reading about American education By Alexia Raynal [N.B.: This is not part of the Fall issue of Zeteo, but one in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading.] 25 November – Tenure in a “Free” Society? Steven M. Cahn’s introduction to the debate on academic tenure tackles a remarkable suspicion: if tenure is the promise of continuous employment (regardless of i.e. political affiliations), why does a supposedly “open” and “free” society such as […]

Thoreau: Mourning Turtle Doves

November 15, 2012 by Ed Mooney

Thoreau: Mourning Turtle Doves An amble from Concord on out By Edward F. Mooney I propose an amble with Thoreau, keeping him usually in sight (not reined in), and letting him be sometimes conjured, rather than the subject of an exclusively scholarly, investigative report. There will be some polemic, a reverie or two, and thoughts on how we might teach others, our students or neighbors, what our walking companion has taught us. I don’t write solely from a place of […]

Welcome to the Zeteo Fall Issue

November 15, 2012 by William Eaton

Dear Readers, Welcome to the Zeteo Fall Issue 2012. In a United States election year we began with the idea of choice. We challenged writers to speak about the choices human beings make not only in politics, but also as consumers, spectators and thinkers. We proposed that choice might be an illusion—our “choices” channeled by economic regimes, education, custom, biology, family dynamics. Zeteo is an interdisciplinary but not undisciplined journal. In this issue you will find pieces that speak directly about our choices. Catherine […]

Jana Andolan

November 15, 2012 by fritztucker

Jana Andolan The People’s Movement in Nepal By Fritz Tucker Every day, hundreds of European, American, Australian, and Israeli tourists walk the streets of Thamel, downtown Kathmandu. Nearby is the Narayanhiti Palace Museum, the Nepali Royal Palace that was converted into a museum after the Nepali People’s Movement of 2006 (in Nepalese, Jana Andolan II). Most of these tourists are unaware that the crowded, winding streets of Thamel were much more crowded in April 2006—filled, in fact, with millions of […]
