    protest politics

    Any one who knows me knows I’m rather persistent when it comes to physicał protests.

    Anyone who really knows me knows if and why i ‘show’-up, for a protest or stage one with my Fred or follow my fearless sons, can figure out these photos.The where and when.

    Too decide is an ordeal.

    It’s always an ordeal, or better yet a calculation to determine if my physical body can “take it.”

    When I arrived at CUNY I had a workplace injury as University of Denver (DU) –Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), I taught and published only that. I was the “negative” example, if you will.

    No doubt about it!

    How (not why because too obvious) is the question.

    HOW is so much harder, though potentially counter-intuitive then way more interesting. Like ” “disinterest” not rational self-interest.

    Indeed, I get tired hearing either the why — the justification disguised or ʼframedʼ as I write in at least one book racialized – en-cultured or -en-appropriated (Penelope). And if you wanna play the game, select 2 ids please. It is only fair Rudi.

    What is my MO? Mother Courage or Reckless Ruthje? I love to name and to have acronyms like TAP (new-ish) and PRISM. I asked for over 23 years how a Germanic language like Dutch did not soften my name nor Ruudʼs. Happy to catch up with Gradi during the holidays. It is her cennential all year, after all.RPM taught me a lot about what radically changes meaning in transliteration. Being “lost in translation – is too obvious. Cultures are akin to climate(s). Get it?

  • Weasel Zippers Snip the Menu and if it says “oops” this means

    Take it from the Weasel-Zippers, as a woman “writing politics” I’m effective enough to try to silence. They want to silence me. I may seek shelter in scholarship sometimes, but I will not be silenced.

    I appreciate the mirroring with CUNY Academic Commons that stems from my private site to my professional site. CUNY practices freedom of speech protection. No research and travel budget does not help. (Double negative intended.) Images are all mine.

    The National Review trained me (via Frederic D. O’Brien, formerly Frederic. D. Schwarz — his mug name.).

    Even more importantly, University of Chicago. Senior-sage-wise or the legendary academic editor John Tryneski helped me immensely. I forgot Out of Many, One: The Third American Political Tradition was almost pulped give the racket the late Rush Limbaugh made. This is an academic book with lots of footnotes, documenting former President Barack Obama’s first term

    Being a Congressional Page and an American presidency scholar means one tends to get the panic of having two years (or 100 days) to pass a law. Executive orders have always existed but . . .

    /Control?/Resist?!?/Bodies_in_Revolt*

    This was written before the ADAAA was passed in 2008 as President George W. Bush (43, not 41) with Routledge, 2005 and sold as chapters or I can send PDFs per requests (robrien@gc.cuny.edu within each semester (approximately September to December and February to May) each year. I only have select chapters.

    Finally, Voices from the Edge: Narratives about the Americans with Disabilities Act (USA: Oxford University Press, 2004)

    Crippled Justice: The History of Disability in the Workplace (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, October 2001).
