Back in Houston, after 15 years

The campus is getting ready for the classes.

 

This is our second week on our US trip. Jessica was such a great host back in Detroit; we just chilled out and enjoyed our time. I will write about where I visited there, but now in Houston, I have strong feelings of nostalgia!

Sinem and I visited the Rice University campus. The classes haven’t started yet and the campus is under construction- getting ready for the new semester. Anthropology program administrator Shawna Forney was at her office, and she had the courtesy of opening the department reading room where I defended my dissertation 15 years ago!

This is from 2009, I am defending my dissertation.
Same room in 2024. This is me as professor of media studies.
This should be from 2004. Paul Rabinow in a brown bag meeting.
