     I thought the article on Fiestas in Andean Transnational Migration was a very interesting read, especially in the context of the themes in our class. Cabanaconde is a special village in southern Peru that ta […]

La semana pasada fui a mi casa para Acción de Gracias. Para comenzar la semana, tomé el GRE. Fue largo, pero lo hice genial. Después del examen, ayudé a prepararme para que mi familia venga. Tuvimos 20 per […]

We are getting a new police station in town. Why the old one is obsolete is beyond me. The only act of “evil” committed in my town is going a few miles over the speed limit, and this is hardly a matter worth fla […]

Social scientists do important work that is often used to make real-world policy decisions. But how do we know that their conclusions are right? Peer review is one important way that we ensure that research […]

The Paerregaard article talks about how the transnational citizens use the Virgin of Carmen as a mediation and media to express their ties to the original community in Cabanaconde. When people moved from one place […]

The best way to learn about reproducibility is to actually do it. This exercise will teach you the basics of the Tier Protocol through the analysis of a dataset on racial attitudes in the United States. Our […]

The Virgen Carmen is very important to the culture of Cabanaconde. The Virgen is very important because she offers a type of connection to the culture of Cabanaconde for the many migrants who leave the area. All […]

Cuando estaba en la escuela primaria, era alta y delgada. Mi pelo era largo y liso, no rizado. Era muy atlética. ¡Era tímida pero muy contenta!  Ahora, soy más sociable. Pero soy introvertido. ¡Yo no soy muy diferente!

Este fin de semana es muy interesante y divertido.

Cuando era viernes, fui al cine con mis amigos y vimos “Liga de la justicia”. La película fue un desperdicio del dinero. Nos sentimos muy decepcionados, pero es […]

I live in a small town that really loves being a small town. Willoughby is the kind of place that has heavy regulations about new construction. They don’t mind that it happens, but they are very particular about […]

Cuando era niña, estaba muy activo. Toqué muchos instrumentos y jugué muchos deportes. Toqué violín, chelo, viola, ukelele, guitarra, y clarinete. Juegué voleibol y estaba en el equipo de natación. Ahora juego […]

As a child my father and I would go to Tinkers Creek in the early mornings before school. I was in the second grade, so then the only purpose for going there was for brief play before school. However now that I’m […]

This was way back when I was in 4th grade. I went to boarding school for a year. I didn’t understand why I had to go to boarding school back then, I knew my parents weren’t trying to punish me because I was a […]

The field across from my uncle’s farm being subdivided
the remnant patch […]
