(a Beatles' song this time?)<br /><br />So when we talk about "thinktivist", or "informationist," I like those terms, but I also like the more inclusive term I think you might be reaching for: a humanist informationist, because you do not limit yourself to one thing anymore now. <br /><br />As many of us realize, adjunct faculty are only one small part of a much larger slice of the pie, which we have to cover inclusively. <br /><br />And you do so beautifully. <br /><br />We cannot restrict ourselves to one thing only anymore: that's having horse's blinders on. We chucked those out long ago. <br /><br />I know you did so anyway... We should all do so and become humanists, fighting for ALL.<br /><br />Besos, not borders, Ana/Adjunct Justice<br /><br />Ana M.
