Correction: 3 foreign-born/raised. Professor Simpson is from England!I attended an interesting APALSA (Asian Pacific American Law Students Association) lunch meeting last year where a visiting professor who was Korean-American and female spoke about diversity in law school faculties. Apparently achieving faculty diversity is very hard in many law schools. Hmm. Interesting.
I was never bothered by that fact that I was taught predominantly by white males. Should I be bothered? Maybe.The phenomenon is a bit more severe in law school than it was in undergrad. I had a bunch of foreign-born/raised/educated professors. Probably not that many females though. I guess in the business school academic world, it's easier for the non-American to make a name for themselves than in the law school academic world.
Too bad I'm hit with both labels. Asian-American and female. Or is this a bad thing? I was born, raised, and educated here. But the color of my skin is different. Just like Prof. Khanna (#8). Except he's male.
I slept 12-14 hours last night. It was beautiful.
Happy birthday, Rukku!
I miss Bruce.

ReplyDeleteA couple thoughts that aren't really connected:
ReplyDelete1) Ugh, hate how this doesn't update my blog dashboard. (Will continue stating this until google does something about it)
2) Hey!! We spoke about diversity at lunch today tooooo.
3) Jill is defs a hottie.
4) I think I'm okay with being taught by white males... you know how in Con Law, they kept talking about how minorities need to people that look like them in positions of power? I totally don't think thats necessary...?
5) Happy birthday Rukku!
It takes time. Case in point: we now refer to Jews as "white". At least our society and institutions make an affirmative effort (at least on the surface) to promote "diversity" (whether beneficial or detrimental remains to be seen).
ReplyDeletevery unrelated to this post, but since it is related to an earlier post, and happened today...I'll comment here:
ReplyDeleteyou have been keeping your nails nicely painted...especially today, the shiny green nail polish was really cute. xoxo
