Last summer in Nanjing, I posted to this blog with few problems. Almost always, I could send pictures. Here, I attempt to post daily but do not always get through. In part, the problem is infrastructure. The server is not designed for a campus community of 16,000 faculty and students. But there are differences between the settings. Its strong central government notwithstanding, Chin is not monolithic. A provincial university is more tightly monitored than a small language school in a major city.
When I don't post, it's because I can't.
I was a professor of curriculum and instruction at East Tennessee State University and am now in emeritus status. Currently, I teach English composition part-time at George Mason University. I have taught in Cincinnati, Turkey, China and the Czech Republic.
