When Leading a College in Tough Times, Getting Faculty Support Is Crucial - Leadership & Governance - The Chronicle of Higher Education
Cathy A. Trower, research director for the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education at Harvard, argued that the oldest professors—those born as late as 1945, who are called "traditionalists"—have attitudes about their careers that are very different from the youngest academics', like the Millennials'. Traditionalists tend to be loyal to employers, for example, while Gen-Xers are skeptical. Baby boomers are seeking titles and recognition for their work, while Millennial employees are primarily interested in meaningful work.

danah boyd
My name is danah boyd and I am a Social Media Researcher at Microsoft Research New England and a Fellow at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society. I recently completed my PhD at the School of Information (iSchool) at the University of California (Berkeley). My research examines social media, youth practices, tensions between public and private, social network sites, and other intersections between technology and society.

On the web, I'm known for two things: maintaining an Ani DiFranco lyrics site and blogging prolifically. Personally, I love music, dancing, politics, reading, and all things fuzzy. At my core, I'm an activist and a scholar.

YouTube - A Brief History of Pretty Much Everything
This is the final piece for my AS art course, a flipbook made entirely out of biro pens. It's something like 2100 pages long, and about 50 jotter books. I'd say I worked on and off it for roughly 3 weeks.

Creativity through cerebration | Harvard Gazette Online
Kay Rhie the Korean native has pulled together concepts from disparate artistic and cultural traditions as well as a variety of academic disciplines in order to explore and interpret the musical world. Employing art, architecture, literature — even math — as inspiration, Rhie seeks to find ways contemporary music, in the absence of strict form or tonal structure, “can clearly convey its musical goal.”
