La Trobe University in Australia has an interesting podcast course on Press & Society. Check it out on iTunes U: search for the prof, Christopher Scanlon. I've only listened to the 1st two lectures, but it seems quite good. Also, Berkeley has a co...

A great site for cutting edge political and social issues is OpenDemocracy, a non-profit. Some top academics and journalists give their views. Have a look: http://www.opendemocracy.net/ I would appreciate any podcasts that deal with the news medi...

I am in lecture 3 now. I'll wait to get to 4 for more comment, but surely on the face of it this looks bad. Mostly ignorant, I guess. If there is one thing you cannot do is summarize Judaism into one ideological sentence or the other. IMHO not eve...

Have you listened to lecture 4 of the New Testament class yet? I didn't want to mention it in my review since Martin didn't make too much of it, but he had this comment at the end: "The Psalms are full of language that implied that whoever is in c...

How Did I Complete My Thesis Writing…

It was such an embarrassing situation for me when I had to finish my college thesis writing and I was not getting enough time to understand thesis paper writing guidelines, and I wasn’t getting enough thesis writing help.

It was torturing to see others celebrating the success of their college thesis paper leaving me behind. Well, I never lost hope and I once thought of getting my thesis paper written by online thesis writing service. I… Continue

History 2a (UCSD Fall 2009)

Courses on US history are quite common among academic podcasts, however basic survey courses on early American history are surprisingly rare. Gretchen Reilly's course is available for time to time, David Hoogland Noon has a course that may still be accessible, their is an offering from the university of Warwick (by the way, that particular course is particularly good for the British background to American colonialism and revolution) and perhaps one or two others.

I would like to put in a plug f… Continue

psychology and cognition

Recently, on the facebook parlor, I commented that three courses that are currently going on that go really well together are UCSD's "minds and brains" and "distributed cognition", and UC-Berkeley's "Psychology of dreaming.

Based on some exchanges with Baxter, I would like to add "scientific approaches to consciousness" (spring 2009 from UC Berkeley). If time is limited, then substitute this one for Mind and Brains.

Why should you care about these courses? Well, after only a few lectures, you… Continue

Political science 100c - American Political Parties UCSD Fall 2009

Professor Keith Poole is not a fan of gun control, health care reform, labor theory of value, net-neutrality, or environmentalists. He is equally disillusioned by Democrats and Republicans. He also doesn't like to use technological tools; on several occasions he has complained about how complicated phones are becoming. During one lecture he said wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt was like wearing a Hitler shirt.

He is a fan of the market, innovation, patents, and invention. He believes that two, rel… Continue

UCLA's Spring 2009 offering of South Asia History and Politics by Vinay Lal

Baxter pointed this one out to me, and I have just started listening to it, and so far, I find it insightful and engaging.

The course (history 175A, available at the Bruincast website) is about recent South Asian history and politics. South Asia comprises India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bhutan (some include the Maldives). Vinay Lal makes clear right in the beginning that there will be a large emphasis on India, because it is the largest country in South Asia, and before 1947,… Continue
