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.

When you get a syllabus(sp) can you please post it? Are you making the curriculum up? How’d this come about? Keep me posted.

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!

And that whole spontaneous combustion thing? Try explaining that to Dahntay Jones.

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

Your comments on the “Michael Jackson Remembered” Biography program have been most appreciated. I’ve signed up for your mailings and consider myself a fan of yours and am interested to hear anything you have to say about just about anything. Good luck with the class at Duke. I wish I could audit it!
