Gambel's Quail, Bosque Birdwatchers RV Park, San Antonio NM, March 19, 2010
It's a setup
The weather turned later but this morning was bright and sunny and warm and I tossed a handful of bird seed out by the fence and sat in my lawn chair soaking up the sun watching and photographing the birds enjoying their meal. It was all a setup but I got some really nice pictures.

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.
