Weeknotes: 08/29/26-09/04/26
This Week:
- It was the first week of classes at Hartwick, and we jumped right in. I am co-teaching FLP102, and we introduced ourselves, learned about D2L, and learned how and why to take notes (as well as talking about material culture).
- I also spent a ton of time trying to get students hired to work in the Museum as gallery assistants, which was made more difficult by a backlog in the payroll department.
- I finalized a couple of contracts for Indigenous speakers and events at the Museum. Lots of good stuff ahead!
- I gave a guest lecture in Professor Sheehan’s “Global History of Sport” class about games, tournaments, and “sports” in the Ancient Americas, with a focus on Meso-American ballcourt games, Chunkey, and Lacrosse.
- Goodthings:
- On Bandcamp friday, I picked up Sleaford Mods’ “English Tapas” and MF Doom’s “Operation Doomsday”.
- I watched “Good Boy”, which is a great supernatural horror film, and also a reminder that dogs are amazing and we don’t deserve them.
- True Things:
- “Nerd Reich w/ Gil Duran” Why is this Happening? w/ Chris Hayes podcast
