#professors

I mean, when I got to Brown, the place was riven, because you had older professors who were basically new critics and had been teaching a certain way for 30 years. And then you had this other gang who was down with the semiotic program. And as a student, you were, in a way, forced to choose which cohort you were going with. ↗

My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my 'blackness' than ever before. I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don't belong. ↗

Professors simply can't discuss a thing. Habit compels them to deliver a lecture. ↗

In the academic world, most of the work that is done is clerical. A lot of the work done by professors is routine. ↗

I try not to deal with people's hostility, though I must if they have something I need from them, as the professors did at Columbia or my landlord did. ↗
