Still Out There!

I know that I have not posted much to this blog over the past several weeks. My wife and friends regularly remind me of this. Getting back from China, I had stacks of work to get through, and I am still trying to catch up. Now I am preparing for the upcoming meeting of the Rural Sociological Society in New Hampshire, my son will be leaving home for the MS School for Math and Science, and the fall semester starts in just a few weeks!

I do have a couple of posts planned for the near future. 1) DSU was recently visited by Lazare Sebitereko from the DR Congo. He is helping to develop a new college and one of the degree options will be in community development. 2) I am teaching a course entitled "Delta in Global Context" this fall, and I have been doing a good bit of musing on the position of the Delta in relation to the so-called "developed" and "underdeveloped" countries. Where does this unique region fit in the grand narratives of social, economic and political development?

Well, there is more to come!
