The Berlin Experience at Tufts

An amazing program for undergrads at Tufts....

Judging Racism....

The national debate on race, decorum, and presumption reminded me of Project Implicit which coordinates a series of anonymous tests that measure one's (un/conscious) prejudices and biases. If you have the time, they are worth the self-discovery.

The news from the German Consulate...

The Wall Project brings together the city of Los Angeles and the German Consul General for the two parts of The Wall Project: The Wall Across Wilshire and The Wall Along Wilshire.

Dividing and Repairing

The Wende Museum (a museum and archive of the Cold War) in Los Angeles is sponsoring a contest in connection with The Wall Project. Put all those pictures and images to creative use and win a trip back to Germany. The museum invites folks to "use words, photographs, videos to address the issue of barriers and boundaries in your lives."
"What kind of words, sounds, images, and/or text would you create if you had to address and physically interact with the walls in our lives?"
(Look for the details under the "create" button.)
