Academic Values

 

I believe in:

I believe that knowing more about the world makes the world a better -and more enjoyable- place. I believe in the intrinsic value of knowledge; curiosity-driven research; freedom of expression; intellectual courtesy and generosity; and art for art’s sake. 

 

I believe that:

There are some things that money cannot buy; that education is for life; that there is an umbilical link between media, education, and democracy; and that the rigorous study of culture is not a luxury but a necessity.

 

 

I am indebted to:

Ernst Bloch; Clifford Geertz; Roland Barthes; Roger Fry

 

I believe:

That life can be even better than it is, and that that is up to us –and only us.
