NEWS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy fall semester everyone!<\/p>\n

For me, classes begin today and just yesterday the doc gave me the a-okay to walk without the “boot.”\u00a0 So “hello” to students and “goodbye” to the summer-of-a-broken-leg!<\/p>\n

You may have noticed that our parent site has changed to The Society Pages<\/a>.\u00a0 This is a name change only and we’re still thrilled to be under the stewardship of Doug, Chris, Jon, Letta and the wonderful folks at the University of Minnesota.\u00a0 Word on the street is that SocImages crashed their servers so many times that they had to reconfigure them!\u00a0 We’re so grateful to have their support and patience!<\/p>\n

Gwen and I are proud to announce a new SocImages essay, What is Indian Art?<\/a>, published in Contexts <\/em>magazine (based on our original post<\/a>).\u00a0 If you’d like a pdf of the essay, send a note to socimages@thesocietypages.org and we’ll send it along.\u00a0 You can see a list of our teaching essays here<\/a>.\u00a0 They’re all super short and great for in class exercises.<\/p>\n
