Recall last October’s allegation that the chair of Barnard’s Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Cultures, Rachel McDermott, “steered” a Jewish Barnard student away from taking one of Columbia Professor Joseph Massad‘s classes lest his reportedly pro-Palestinian slant make her “uncomfortable.” The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR) began an investigation in […]

By Bwog Staff on Jan 13, 2012 9 Comments

It seems like just yesterday that PrezBo anointed Feniosky Peña-Mora dean of SEAS. Back in 2009, that halcyon year, Feni was talked up by ‘Bo, wore a doofy tee shirt, and hell, even sat down with OldBwog. These days are a little less rosy—the Times, which first profiled the guy in ’09, has of late […]

By Bwog Staff on Jan 12, 2012 53 Comments

House of Lies premiered last Sunday night, and nestled in between raunchy lesbian bathroom sex and unbridled elitism was this little gem of an exchange. You might think it sounds familiar, and you’d be right—the ‘ole “is Barnard part of Columbia?” debate has found its way onto a national stage. Skip ahead to 24:00. Bwog is […]

When Elections Get Hawkward

By Bwog Staff on Jan 12, 2012 0 Comments

Last night, Republican voters in New Hampshire cast their ballots for Mitt Romney as the Republican candidate to oppose Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election; a collective Democratic head-scratching session ensued. Meanwhile, a different crop of votes were cast a little farther down the coast. But these ones—meant to decide a name for the new hawk nesting in Washington […]

Overheard: Neither Hair Nor There

By Bwog Staff on Jan 10, 2012 7 Comments

As the first day of classes draws nearer and nearer, you should prepare yourself for classmates’ and professors’ accounts of how they spent their breaks (even if, like us, your only response is to admit you spent it in a raggedy Hanson tee-shirt, blogging).

The Real World Exists

By Bwog Staff on Jan 05, 2012 17 Comments

Okay, that Real World exists too—but more importantly there’s that one plagued by tons of problems as well as a bunch of conceited head-cases on all sides of issues vying to be in charge of the whole mess. Maybe that describes both real worlds, come to think of it. Anyway, the 2012 election cycle took off […]

Anthro “Occupy the Field” Class May Be History

By Bwog Staff on Jan 05, 2012 12 Comments

“Occupy the Field,” that Anthro class slated for next spring meant to examine OWS from within both seminar rooms and GAs, is M.I.A.—from the bulletin, that is. The class, which was posted on the Department of Anthropology’s website as of December 31st, is now nowhere to be found. Neither an SSOL search nor a foray into the […]
