Reflection

Prior to retiring to Santa Fe I was a professor of sociology at the University of Texas. Even though I don’t follow the latest research or worry about publishing my own any more, the connections I made through graduate school and my career are still dear to me. Grad school friends, colleagues, and former students remain as important to me as ever. 

I am feeling that truth deeply these days as a former student was in a terrible accident and is in the hospital. Although the news is devastating, I was touched by the number of people who reached out to let me know what happened. I hope the student also feels that loving community somehow as she works to recover. 

I’ll write an update on progress at Chula Vista soon.
