Here’s the NYTimes article I promised you!

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/magazine/13anthropology-t.html

This link should work for reading the article all on a single page, but there are some great photographs that accompany the article, and I hope you’ll get a chance to see them online.

As you read the article, try to put yourself in the shoes of both the Nokia consultant, and the people he talks to and works with.

For Thursday night, February 5th, your reading assignment is an article on global migration, from the Economist.

Hello! Here’s the link for your reading assignment for Tuesday night: Michael Pollan’s “Open Letter to the Next Farmer-in-Chief”.

You can read it as it was published online in the NYTimes, clicking through page by page, or you can use the “print link” to read a copy that is all on one page with no ads. (Of course, it’s also easier to print from that link.)

Michael Pollan wrote this a month before the presidential election, although many readers felt he meant to speak directly to Barack Obama.
