Mar. 1st, 2009 10:30 pmI just got an email from the campus GLBT office about the one of the coolest study abroad opportunity. A summer session called "Gay Paris."
( full information behind cut )
I just find it's really neat, and refreshing, that someone's thought to put together a summer session that bundles GLBT studies with something else besides politics. And gives me another reason to work on my transcription other than doing well in class: chase up on one of the ideas in my socio-linguistic texts on a feature that was shared by heterosexual men in a language community vs. the women and gay men who did not share this language feature. Because your language reflects on what social grouping you belong to, I could chart a large grouping of people and see how one census group ( homosexuals ) are either mixed into other social groups or mostly in their own.
I would guess mixed because Bloomington is Really, Really Gay. Bloomington has the fifth highest homosexual to heterosexual ratio in the US, behind San Fransisco, Santa Fe, Portland ( Maine version), and Miami.
Which is one of the reasons why when General Pace has to meet with the Diversity and Affirmative Action Committee when he visits in April since he accepted a position at the Kelly Business School giving a series of lectures. = D
And when I opened the window to write this entry, I was totally going to write about how much I liked DC's "The New Frontier." I shall post about it - and my local comic shop - another time because I just remembered I need my strong/weak classes in English still to type.
