Loss of Civil Liberties Since 9/11

The Center for Grassroots Oversight is running a very interesting project under the auspices of a project called Cooperative Research History Commons. They are documenting the Loss of Civil Liberties Since 9/11. They are inviting people to add to the timeline. Given how profoundly civil society is affected by this erosion of freedoms in the US and elsewhere, I recommend you take a look at this and consider whether your organization has experiences that might be relevant. Current topic areas for the timeline include: legal changes, freedoms, secrecy, and surveillance. Posted: 2/25/08; 12:51:26 PM #

Teaching as a Colleague

Asher Bey's most recent post is on the topic of Teaching as a Colleague and, appropriately, it's presented as a report of an exploration of this topic that he had with a colleague and friend. The authority issues that are often brought up by teaching are tricky in collegial situations where there may be a mismatch with the authorities of the workplace. Because we all face this fascinating challenge from time to time, I would like to encourage you to offer your experiences and tips in the comments at The Guru's Handbook.
