Close on the heels of the last period of exceptional activity, another such span is just beginning.
Today, I need to write a paper on Ross Zucker’s Democratic Distributive Justice, to be submitted by 6pm.
Monday, there is a Toronto350.org board meeting, where we will hopefully be able to finalize our by-laws. There is also a divestment planning meeting from 6-8pm, which conflicts.
Tuesday, I have my markets and justice course, and then the normal Toronto350.org planning meeting.
Wednesday, I have my first tutorials since the strike began. I have also been asked to take part in the dramatic reading of a play.
By April 10th, we need to have the final version of the divestment brief ready for the committee.
On April 17th, we are actually presenting to the committee.
By April 21st, I need to write another term paper for my markets and justice course.
And by the 1st of May, I need somewhere new to live.
It wasn’t my feeling at the time, but Dr. Carens liked my response to Zucker.
Carens’ course has definitely been one of the most thought-provoking I have ever taken and, among other things, demonstrates the value of continuing with coursework during a PhD, at least when your school has the exceptional faculty of the University of Toronto.
