Student life

It is Xmas eve, 07.40 on Xmas eve and my darling student just brought me a coffee, she has been up half the night reading and she wanted to discuss the notion of "otherness" in the operation of power in social work as a basis of anti oppressive practice.



This was a pretty crude plagiarism by someone (not the student) of Max  Adorno who did a lot of work on how people could have been persuaded to work in concentration camps. What a lovely way to start Xmas, which I hope you have a merry one of  by the way. 

PS By heck, having posted the above an add popped up under the post saying that you could protect womens rights by studying gender and law at an American university. So knowledge must be power, only if the powerful let it be.....

Seeing which ads pop up is quite funny at times!
I wonder what would pop up on mine?!

I do very little shopping at the moment- it is a lovely feeling in one way.
It is scary however when you just get the essentials, and see others with piled high trolleys.
How can they afford it all and will they really use all that?
