Get your learn on with Baba!

Well, got a little something to do with myself in the Spring.  As many of you figured, I’ll be teaching next semester.  The class will be called “The Black Athlete in America.”

The part that may shock you–the course will be offered in the African and African-American Studies department at Duke University.  I promise no one will spontaneously combust.

I figure it’ll be a lot of fun.  It’s the first course I’ve taught that’s more discussion than straight-on instruction, much different from doing principles of econ.  I’m really excited about it, as I am about a couple of other projects I’m working on that I’ll fill you in on when I’m able to.

On and up, baby.

7. I’m pretty sure there is some spinnage going on in the graves of Duke’s founders. I wish this course would have been offered at my super cool university. Congrats mayne!

10. Ben, I think that would be a part of the curriculum in “The White Lacrosse Athlete in America.”
