THINGS ALL STUDENTS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

If you are considering graduate school: CUNY PIPELINE
Matthew Crawford: "DIstraction is a kind of obesity of the mind"
The importance of silence for concentration.

Christianity taught us to see the Eye of the Lord looking down upon us. Such forms of knowledge project an image of reality, at the expense of reality itself. They talk figures and icons and signs, but fail to perceive forces and flows. They blind us to other realities, and especially the reality of power as it subjugates us. Their function is to tame, and the result is the fabrication of docile and obedient subjects. ~Deleuze and Guattari

Education is not about acquiring knowledge for the sake of knowing, but an active project of becoming human, a process that drives development and makes it possible. Learning...as the pathway to creating one's identity by finding, through knowledge of cultural-historical practices and their history, a way to contribute to changing these practices. ~Stetsenko

So far from being merely a critical ‘method’, let alone a purely negative mode of destruction, deconstruction is a calling, a vocation, which undertakes an intense investigation of texts, structures and institutions in order to enable them to respond to the call of the other. Deconstruction is a way of making room for the other, and so fundamentally a kind of hospitality and welcome. ~James K. A. Smith
