Commentary on politics, history, culture, and literature by two Dartmouth graduates and their buddies
WHO WE ARE Chien Wen Kung graduated from Dartmouth College in 2004 and majored in History and English. He is currently a civil servant in Singapore. Someday, he hopes to pursue a PhD in History. John Stevenson graduated from Dartmouth College in 2005 with a BA in Government and War and Peace Studies. He is currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago. He hopes to pursue a career in teaching and research. Kwame A. Holmes did not graduate from Dartmouth. However, after graduating from Florida A+M University in 2003, he began a doctorate in history at the University of Illinois--Urbana Champaign. Having moved to Chicago to write a dissertation on Black-Gay-Urban life in Washington D.C., he attached himself to the leg of John Stevenson and is thrilled to sporadically blog on the Dartmouth Observer. Feel free to email him comments, criticisms, spelling/grammar suggestions.

"Islamic Fascism" It isn't a term that I would use, but it isn't as useless as one would think. As Martin Kramer points out in his latest Sandstorm piece, scholars of the Middle East, including the Marxist Maxine Rodinson, have drawn links between Islamism and Fascism in the past.

The internet connection countines to be spotty. However, I am commuting to work and school regularly now so we can begin our walk through the Bible this week. Friday, September 15, 2006
Conservatives in revolt, part 514 In case you've missed it, The Washington Monthly features articles by seven prominent conservatives, including Dartmouth's Jeffrey Hart, on just how un-conservative the Bush administration has become. Thursday, September 07, 2006
Expect more updates next week. Though I doubt any of you wish to know the everyday details of living, I want to share the reasons why I have not posted this week despite prior promises to the contrary. One, my personal Internet connection disappeared for one week. Two, I moved further away from campus during that time. Three, I moved into a new apartment. Four, I'm trying to write an NSF grant proposal. Next week things look good because all four should have ceased by then. |
