“U.S. Policy in Post-Election Congo: A Complex and Long Road Ahead”

An article about US policy in the DRC by Diamond Sharp, a Wellesley alum. Very important issue to be reposted and shared. Thank you Diamond!

In our Web 3.0 world, as we share our identities so publicly with everyone else, standing out from the crowd, raising one’s voice against collective conventionality, is becoming increasingly difficult.

Does society benefit when we share personal information online? Or do social networks prompt us to publish unhealthy amounts of personal data, while little enriching our lives? Author Andrew Keen and journalism professor Jeff Jarvis lead the arguments in our debate.

My favorite Wellesley yearbook photo ever. My friend Veronica had a history of taking increasingly over-the-top official photographs at Wellesley. For the yearbook senior year, she wanted her photo theme to be “drowning in pearls,” but the woman taking the photos wouldn’t let her make her “drowning face,” so Veronica just made a bunch of weird faces until the photographer got tired and just took three photos. This is the one that made it into the Legenda. (Veronica is an OB/GYN in NYC who frequently travels to Uganda to practice medicine there. She blogs about her jaw-dropping experiences here.)

Activists on both sides of the gay marriage debate were shocked this November, when a typographical error in California’s Proposition 8 changed the state constitution to restrict marriage to a union between “one man and one wolfman,” instantly nullifying every marriage except those comprised of an adult male and his lycanthrope partner.

I agree, that&#8217;s a very arresting cover.
I also can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;ve never heard of this Achebe book. Must read.

What a great cover.
We don’t have to be girls at war, we can be women fighting for peace.

_Maurice made his first American concert performance at the prestigious South by Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival in Austin, Texas during March 2010. He has been exclusively featured on The Africa Channel’s “Soundtracks @ Red Kiva” program. The show is taped live at The Red Kiva nightclub in Chicago. Africa’s most popular artists provide a variety of sounds from the continent on the show. In September 2010, he was named the winner of the Radio France International (RFI) Discovery Prize for “Best New African Artist”. They chose him ahead of ten finalists from across Africa. Over 500 musicians entered the competition”
