Gotta get back up there with the birds
As you can probably tell I've been sorting pictures the last week or two and posting the odd finds here. It's got me wishing I were up at the Bosque with the birds. This winter has been a wet one but until that breaks I'm staying put.

The Credential of the Dominant
The general veneration that greets the academy is a sign of its near-sacred station and of the importance of its role in, as Bourdieu would view it, the reproduction of the dominant class and its habitus. Although the rewards of academics are middling in terms of financial capital, the cultural capital they accrue cannot be surpassed. To have a college degree -- only about one-quarter of American adults do -- is to have the credential of the dominant; not to have a college degree is to remain forever among the dominated.
