Blogging for a more just society. Short Story: Winter Walking. 8220;Can you imagine what it’s like under the ice right now? 8221; I asked Anthony. Much to our style we took a different route back. As we were crossing through a small field, we suddenly noticed something interesting above us. On the first branch of a nearby tree, we spotted a hawk. We found ourselves taken back by the new scenario that nature had given us. “What should we do? 8221; I asked Anthony. Sat Feb 19, 09:47:00 PM.

Blogging for a more just society. New Fall: New School Year. As we have just experienced the academic lull of the summer, I am pleased to say that the new academic year has just kicked off so there should be new material floating onto the Praxivism blog. The Praxivists who will be at Marist this fall have informed me that they are planning to keep things up. So I will be pushing them (mostly Sam) to keep the blog flowing. Links to this post.

Blogging for a more just society. The Power of Praxis. Thursday night, I showed my freshly made documentary to my housemates and about halfway through the film; my roommate turns to me and says, “This looks like a lot of fun! And I thought to myself, “yeah, it really was.” The work that our Haiti class did in Les Cayes this semester really was fun. Then I wondered, where did this idea come from that praxis wasn’t supposed to be fun? If anything, fun-ness is one of the key elements of praxis. Shouldn̵...

Blogging for a more just society. I wrote this article for The Circle, but (as I always do) I am publishing it here first. I wrote this article from the perspective of an internationalist with special consideration for diplomacy, enjoy:.
