week 4: Feb. 6-12


Bromance: Exploring the Rewards, Challenges, and Tensions of Men’s Friendships

and

Dr. Antwi Akom
Unit One/Allen Hall Guest-in-Residence Opening Program: Eco-Buddhism, Mindfulness, and Building an Environmental Justice Movement for Everyone

I have been in a bind over what to write about these two events.  It is easy to be critical, critique is what I do for a living.  Unless you were there, my critique being out of context might sound a bit harsh rather than just the way I saw it.   One of the first memorable lines from the 'bromance' panel was: 'one of the things I love about the 21st century is......'. 
I hate being a buzz-kill.

There were miners who attended these events, and I think they got something out of them.  I did not get what I hoped for, but I still got something out of each.  So let's just call it good.  This past week it seems I am guilty of going to the wrong venues for me.....I am a fool for a catchy title.
