  • Let me translate what rowan said into english: mari matsuda believes there are problems with universities. she wants to change them. why?

  • wow you've really been perfecting the art of pseudo-intellectual gibberish.

  • I am also disturbed by this kind of language. People like Matsuda rarely consider learning as something done by individuals outside of institutions; they usually talk of things like beehives. The problem is that, while she does identify structural problems and admirably wants to dismantle these failing institutions, she believes that such institutions may be rebuilt so that they are successful in a way in which they have never been before. I want to know why she believes that this is the case.

  • This Matsuda is not wholly wrong, e.g. she doesn't support standardised testing. However, given her antipathy to contemporary institutional structures I wonder where she gets her optimism for institutional solutions. Also, so much of this lecture is empty rhetoric, anecdotes, stories, etc. Finally, even when she makes a good point it is limited; e.g. Keynesian economics and environmentalism might be compatible, but I seriously doubt such a model is sustainable past the current economic crisis.

  • This is the horses mouth.

    Mari Matuda really exists. I swear!

    "buzzing hives of learning" - very interesting description of a learning environment.

    Who is the queen bee?

    Is it Oprah the communitarian antichrist?
