  • Where to Go When Ya Gotta Go: the Best Public Restrooms That Boston
    Where to go when ya gotta go: The best public restrooms that Boston has to offer One of the perils of touring around a city is trying to find conveniently located bathrooms. While there is always a McDonald’s or Burger King, most fast food emporiums insist you be a customer and even then you have to request somebody to unlock the door. Regular restaurants aren’t very happy either having tourists tromp through their dining establishment. So it’s always good to know where any public restrooms are located so you can better plan your journey. As a public service, here’s a list of Boston’s better placed FREE public restrooms. The Boston Public Library on Dartmouth Street in Copley Square. Enter the main building, go by the security equipment and check-in desk, take a left before the stairs and follow the signs (which will direct you to take a right at the end of the corridor and then a left), Check out the lions guarding the elegant stairway going up to the main reading rooms. After the pressure is off, take a walk through the lovely center courtyard. Of course, if you’re lucky enough to be staying in one of Copley Square’s great hotels – like the Marriott Copley Place, Westin Copley Place, The Lenox or Fairmount Copley Plaza - you only need to go there to appreciate the architecture. Open 9 AM – 5 PM Monday-Saturday (longer during the summer) and 1 PM – 5 PM Sundays. The “New” State House on Beacon Street atop Beacon Hill.

  • Consumption and Inequality Fall 2012
    Honors 391 A/D: Consumption and Inequality University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Spring 2012 Course Meetings: Tuesdays 9:30-10:20am, Dickinson 114 Who: Joya Misra Kyla Walters Where: Machmer Hall W33e Thompson 638 When: Tues 10:30 am-11:30 am Thurs 8:30-10:30 am Email: [email protected] [email protected] Site: https://moodle.umass.edu/course/view.php?id=831 Course Description Consumption is an undeniable part of our lives. Whether we’re striving to be out with the old and in with the new, bargain hunting at neighborhood tag sales, or restricting produce purchases to locally grown organic vegetables, our actions, beliefs, ideals, bodily behaviors, and monetary exchanges form a constellation of consumption. This course will survey how scholars examine social phenomena related to consumption and consumerism, including theories about globalization, culture, inequality, gender, and intersectionality. We will consider three main themes over the course of the semester: 1) the historical, political, and economic underpinnings of consumption; 2) cultural aspects of consumption and image representation in relation to racial, ethnic, gender, sexuality, and class inequality reproduction, and 3) retail and service work. Course Requirements: One of the best parts of a seminar class is in having people with different backgrounds and experiences hash out a given topic. Our goal will not be to all agree – but to thoughtfully, respectfully, and energetically push each other forward in our understandings of the materials and of our own viewpoints. You need not read or respond to the materials the same way we do, but you should be prepared to take a position and argue for it! Much of your course grade will be based on exactly that – so being engaged is your best chance at doing well in the class.
