What's the link between race, admissions, and achievement in today's higher education? Is is easier for some groups to get into college thanks to affirmative action, and harder for others? The lawsuits against affirmative action involving Harvard, UNC, and other schools all claim that affirmative action is unfair, unjust and, it would be hard to miss, un-American. Professor Poon studies higher education and analyzes policies in light of hard data, not myths and misperceptions. Uli Baer teaches literature and photography as University Professor at New York University. A recipient of Guggenheim, Getty and Humboldt awards, in addition to hosting "Speaking of…” he hosts (with Caroline Weber) the podcast "The Proust Questionnaire” and is Editorial Director at Warbler Press. Email ucb1@nyu.edu; Twitter @UliBaer.

Affirmative Action: OiYan Poon on Race, Admissions, and Achievement

Welcome to another Wednesday with LIFE WORK BALANCES! This week I had the chance to finish up the conversation from last week with Oiyan Poon. We reconnected at the ASHE conference and got to talk about what she had been up to in the last year. We talked about living in Chicago, getting engaged, finding a faith community, staying connected to family that it spread out across the country, learning to cook family receipts, teaching, learning, being asked to speak at a national conference, engaging in conversations about how we honor and value people rather than co-opt their work, and a great deal more. If you want to be interviewed for an episode of LIFE WORK BALANCES, or have questions or feedback, send an email to lifeworkbalances [at] gmail Enjoy!

Episode 93: Oiyan Poon pt. 2

Welcome to another episode of LIFE WORK BALANCES! Today I had the chance to sit down with Oiyan Poon, who is currently a faculty member at Loyola University Chicago. This is the first part of a conversation we had almost a year ago. When I went to put the episode together, my computer ate half of it when I tried to split it between two episodes. So it took some time to be able to sit down with Oiyan again, but I was finally able to do it recently, so now you can hear it this week and next week. This week we talked about growing up in New England, family, sports, school, dropping out of grad school, deciding to pursue a PhD, being political, culture shock, dissertations, and a lot more! This week’s conversation covers up to when Oiyan was getting ready to move to Chicago, and next week we will cover from Chicago to now, and some of the things that she tries to do to find balance and regain energy. If you are interested in being interviewed for an episode, have feedback or questions, send an email to lifeworkbalances [at] gmail Enjoy! LISTEN // DOWNLOAD ITUNES // FACEBOOK // TWITTER
