round and round the mulberry bush

blogspot has become persona non grata in china. however... keep your eye on http://hsu-to-xisu.livejournal.com/ which is suddenly no longer on the naughty list.

ive been traveling a great deal lately: qingdao, chengdu, nanjing...

and i made yet another trip to the beloved banana temple.

im so excited because my students have done a project with my friend (and bigfoot scholar), steve. however, only folks across the pond can see. while i cannot show the finished project to my students, which was supposed to be an exercise in publication and making their writing "real," ya'll can enjoy: http://yerenbigfoot.blogspot.com/

school and travel are keeping me busy. next weekend im off to changsha to visit my amazingly wonderful friends chris and john who have just moved back to china from australia.

HSU Signs Pacts with Chinese University

(Monday, July 10, 2006)

Humboldt State University and Xi'an International Studies University (XISU), People's Republic of China, have signed five milestone accords that lay the groundwork for sweeping collaboration.

Initial plans, completed in mid-June in the city of Xi'an in northwest China, call for long-term faculty and student exchanges, joint academic programs, mutual faculty research and scholarship, and shared economic development and service projects.

The ground breaking blueprint encompasses a Center for Chinese Studies at the Arcata campus and an HSU administrative infrastructure within the XISU that would help lead to the establishment of a "Humboldt College" there. That apparatus would enable Humboldt State to recruit Chinese students to study in residence in Arcata and participate in joint academic endeavors.

In addition, this new collaboration creates the opportunity to offer HSU courses at XISU taught by qualified HSU instructors, according to Dr. Rosamel Benavides-Garb, chair of Humboldt State's Department of World Languages and Cultures.

Succeeding HSU faculty members would be installed each semester as a "presence on the ground" at XISU, which takes its name from Xi'an, China's ancient capital for 13 dynasties and the home of the famed terra cotta warriors and horses.

i was the first sent over... September, 2006. This is my story.
