I went there as a STINT ”Excellence in Teaching” fellow. As of spring 2005, I can assure you that this report is not like any of the previous. This is not to say that it is better. It’s just different. Perhaps the proper metaphor is to say that my stay in upstate New York was a journey, an intellectual and academic journey as well as a journey in space and time. It was also a dream come true. Once in the mid 80’s I was offered a job in America, but it came to nothing due to circumstances out of my control. Here’s the part of the story that I know about. For a year or so, at this time in life, I shared an apartment with one of my brothers. After I moved out to take up living with my wife, my brother kept the flat and the telephone number. Somewhat later, at a time when I was applying for post-doc jobs all over the western world, my brother and his girlfriend went on a long trip to Asia, including China. They rented the apartment to another couple. So when a professor from the University of Chicago called to ask if I was interested in a post-doc position in Chicago, he got the answer that I was in China! I knew nothing about it at the time. When I learned of this story some years after the fact, what could I do except laugh? And anyway, I wouldn’t have wanted to give up the years I lived in London, UK. But now, amazingly, I got a second chance to live in America. So the format of the report is the ”travel book”, and there will be per- sonal stories and reflections throughout. Some readers will not like that, they will want the facts, the practical details, the stern comparisons be- tween a Swedish University and an American College. You will find that stuff here also, but unfortunately scattered about, and perhaps not that stern. On the positive side though, the facts will appear in a more interest- ing context. And again, I had from the very beginning the feeling that this cannot be written as an academic text. That would make it jolly boring, as 4 the English would say. For those of you who still just want the facts, those parts are marked in the list of contents with the symbol ]. Inside the text, there are also subsections tagged by a ], these also contain thoughts and reflections on academia. For the rest of you, I hope you will enjoy the whole thing, just as I enjoyed my visit. For facts about Skidmore College, the best source is the college’s web page2, where there are links to useful sources of information.3 *** Just one last thing. It goes without saying that you can spend a visit like this in many different ways, all depending on who you are and where you go. And you can write your report in many different ways. As regards both the stay and the report, I simply did it my way. 2http://www.skidmore.edu 3For example, the College catalog. In particular, I want to recommend the document ”Engaged Liberal Learning, The Plan for Skidmore College: 2005-2015”. 5 Acknowledgments First of all I’d like to thank my students Howard Austin, Amos Epstein, Thomas Kehrer, Andrew Matusiewicz, Daniel Pratt and Paul Legan for attending my course, though fairly conventional in delivery, was very exper- imental in its contents. Among faculty, a very special and deeply felt thanks goes to Sarah Good- win and Steve Goodwin, who did so much to make my and my family’s visit in Saratoga and at Skidmore such a rewarding social and intellectual ex- perience. Thanks for all the good food and interesting conversations. In particular, thanks to their children Eva, Hannah and Stephen for many funny discussions and points of view! The same goes for Mark Huibregtse and Renee Hostetler and their daugh- ter Lydia, colleague, friends and neighbors on Pinewood Avenue and Monika’s classmate. A great thanks to Chrisana McGill who paved the way for my Skidmore visit so efficiently that there was not very much for me to do, except enjoying both the April planning trip and the fall term. Thanks also to Barbara Optiz who sorted out the visa procedures for me and for my son Olof and daughter Monika. Thanks to Anita Miczek for helping out with everyday things at the department of Mathematics and Computer Science. A very special thanks to Bob DeSieno, with whom I had many interesting conversations about science and its role in society and for sharing many scientific interests. Bob became a new friend. On the behalf of my daughter, my very sincere thanks goes to Roland Baril and Carla Gandy at the Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs, who as a teacher and admissions officer respectively, did so much to make Monika’s time at the school a great experience. Thanks also to Cindy Ford at the Van Lennep Riding Center for riding lessons. To Penny Jolly and Jay Rogoff, who I only met briefly in April, I want to send my gratitude for renting their beautiful and cosy house on Pinewood Avenue. It became our home. Then I want to extend my thanks to rest of the Skidmore faculty, in particular to Mark Hoffman, Mary Crone Odekon, David Atkatz, Jill Linz, Michael Eckmann, Tom O’Connell, Alice Dean, Gove Effinger, Laury Sil- vers, Susan Bender, Michael Arnush, Cornell Reinhart, John Brueggemann, Ann Hendersson, Grace Burton, Tad Kuroda, Michael Rohlf and Annelies Wouters. A special thanks to John Weber for inviting me to give a public talk at the Tang Teaching Museum. I also like to thank Philip Glotzbach, who as President of the College, 6 was instrumental in bringing Skidmore College into the STINT ”Excellence in Teaching” program, thus giving me the opportunity to visit this very dynamic, charming and high quality liberal arts college. I want extend to Sheldon Rothblatt a special thanks for his very kind appreciation for early versions of this report and encouragement to continue writing it in the present format. Thanks also to STINT itself, and in particular to Charlotte Elam, for providing me with this fantastic opportunity. Thanks also to my home institute, the School of Engineering, for putting up with that extra funding, and thanks to Charlotte Bengtsson4 for support- ing it. Furthermore at home, thanks to Michael Tittus5 for first asking if I wanted to apply for the STINT fellowship. Thanks also to Olof Lundqvist6 for encouragement all along and to Said Irandoust7 for that final crucial decision! Last but not least, I’d like to thank Charles Joseph, the Dean of Faculty at Skidmore College, who was the first person at Skidmore that I contacted in the spring after having earned the fellowship. Thanks Chuck for making me at once feel welcome and comfortable in the Skidmore Community. Hope to see you all over there again! 4Head of School. 5Associate Head of School. 6Vice-President of the University College of Bor˚as 7President of the University College of Bor˚as 7 Chapter 1 The Planning Trip 1.1 Prelude Newark Airport. I was sitting in Jake’s Coffeehouse waiting for a connecting flight to Albany.

This book is intended for the traveller in that special world called Imagination. Some would say that Somery does not exist. That is true, in the same sense that Middle-Earth, Utopia and Hogwarts do not exist. But still, to some people, when reading the books, those places may feel as complex and vivid as if they actually did exist. To me Somery is such a place, even if it is merely there in my head. I see it as a tool for my imagination; a trigger for my creativity. Why, I still hear some of you ask, do grown up men spend hours on something that might seem so meaningless as creating imaginary countries? Well, you could ask the same question about many things. Why do people collect stamps? Why do people dress up as characters out of Tolkien’s books? Why do people spend a whole weekend playing computer games on a network? We all get something back that makes us smile, and enjoy life. Bo Bernvill Kaxholmen 2008 4 5 SUNDRIES HOW TO GET THERE Somery has regular airline connections with a number of large cities. Most flights arrive at Sherthevear International Airhaven outside Sibury, or at Wim- prish Lofthaven near Melster.

Although one home approximately 50 yards from the fire was in the path of the flames, the home was not damaged. Fairchild estimated the total damaged area of the fire to be greater than or equal to 20 acres. The Texas Forestry Service re- mained on scene after the fire was ex- tinguished to establish a cordon around the home and continue monitoring for safety, Fairchild said.

  • I Want to Be a Part of It: Popular Music and Me an Honors Thesis (HONRS
    - I Want to Be a Part of It: Popular Music and Me An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by William L. Allen Thesis Advisors Dr. Tony Edmonds Mr. Stan Sollars Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 1996 May 1996 (expected graduation date) " , " - I .~.!~, Author's Note: IA6~ What you are about to read is basically my autobiography. It concerns my relationship with popular music, which, outside of family and friends, is the most important part of my life. It's a relationship that has been going on for more than two decades, and I feel it is worth close examination on my part. For my senior thesis, I decided to perform my own concert. I would like more than anything in life to be an entertainer. Since show business is so hard to get into (and be successful), I thought I should perform while I still had the chance--before I had to settle down and get a real job. The written part, which you are now reading, is very informal. Throughout high school, I was always told not to use contractions and not to write in the informal second person. I've always questioned this. After all, it's my work. Who has the right to tell me what I can and can not put in it? I write in a very conversational style. When I tell a story, it helps if I feel as though I'm conversing with or writing a letter to you, the reader. Consequently, I use the pronoun "you" from time to time. I use contractions because that's how we as human beings speak.
