Coffee & Conversation: Why Can’t We Talk about . . .
Love it when I’m deep in conversation, and then again when I’m in an impressive debate. But I put on my best act when the conversation turns to the US support for Israel, Gaza, the West Bank, Palestinians, Intifadas, Zionism, Judaism, or just the Middle East. Mentioning any of these topics gets real, real […]
Checklist for a Few New Hours Around the Place
You brought energy to the campus and the celebratory confetti is still falling. It wasn’t the same without you. Nice work! You also brought your joy and an inspiring spirit to Commonwealth Avenue. We showed you off, now it’s time to show you around, and introduce you to the place – challenging academics; the cool […]
Coffee & Convo: #Ferguson
“Well, if one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected — those, precisely, who need the law’s protection most! — and listens to their testimony. Ask any Mexican, […]

Advice for the Class of 2014: “Find Love and Laughter”
In the spirit of the time, a few words of unsolicited advice that work well for Terriers — old and new. Thanks Devin! I’ll add my two cents (and more unsolicited words). We need you to tell your stories of how you came and stay alive: have something to say; keep your perspective eloquent; refine […]
A Brief Message On Kevin Lee
I am deeply saddened by reports that Kevin Lee, a sophomore in the College of Engineering, passed away this morning in his residence hall room. Our love goes out to his family, friends, classmates and those who knew him. You can learn more about Kevin and what we know on BU Today. Given the time […]
Everything is on The One: Ode to the Funky Drummer
This afternoon Professor Victor Coelho and I are hitting WTBU’s Ke-mo-sah-bee to talk about Funk. I peeped a mothership connection on campus in, of all things, a course! And, in a University! So, to get the discussion going for the first day of school and to avoid coming in unprepared, I’ve got one question: if […]
A Discussion on Race
Strange to see a message from my younger self: I have tried – for a long time – to stay out of the conversations on races. Time is up! I’m starting it in a BU Today POV piece in their March 27th edition (let’s hope I’ve got the courage to finish). Do me a solid […]
