Welcome

Since welcome posts are obligatory, welcome to my new blog Office Hours. I will use this blog to communicate with the students in my courses in Spring 2008 and it is primarily designed with those courses in mind. The blog will serve as an alternative place for discussion related to the course topics, a space in which I can raise issues that we did not have time to discuss in class, post links to resources relevant to our in-class discussions, and highlight current news and commentary germane to our discussions. I may also try to include audio-visual content that may not fit the confines of the classroom but is relevant to the course.
