CURRENT MISSION

Figure out the world and meaning(s) of life. In the meantime, have as much good food and as many great conversations as possible.

ABOUT ME

Perpetually asking too many big questions, asking Why, and stirring up (a good, constructive kind of) trouble. At school, I helped start a group called the Brown Conversation that's asking all kinds of questions about the purpose of education and looking for ways to make the university better (it would have been called the Brown Movement, but that doesn't sound so good). I also help run the Independent Concentration and Independent Study programs, to work with people that want to create either their own majors or their own classes. I'm doing my own Independent Concentration called Education & Political Economy, and studying the connections between those two, which is what brings me to Viet Nam.

This summer I got a grant from the university to come study Viet Nam's higher education system and ask similar questions to the one's I'm asking at home about the purpose of education (though the project was kind of an excuse just to come to Viet Nam, learn about the country, and try some delicious food).
