Good Point, Chloe. I changed the language to make it more neutral. I really admired Professor Laurendeau’s intellect and passion for philosophy. He was one of the most “mentally alive” scholars I have ever encountered.

What do you really know of Professor Laurendeau?! What do you know of what ‘ruined’ him, of his ‘personal demons’? If it is ‘demons’ you are after, look no further than the fascist administration of York University.

Alex,

Thank you so much for these candid and simultaneously informative posts.

Although you and I come from different backgrounds and had different experiences (and much different command of the French language, haha), I see similarities between what you experienced as a child as a teen, and as an undergrad and what I experienced.

As someone about to embark on a Masters program, you’ve shed the light a little bit on what I can come to expect over the next two years; and possibly the next four to five should I choose to pursue my PhD.

I’m excited to read your forthcoming post about your post-doc the Mi’kmaq dictionary. Non-Native allies are a research interest of mine, and one I hope to pursue through classwork this year.

Also, I had no idea how young you are! I guess I never really pieced everything together based on when you received your tenure.

Best,
Danielle

I am glad, Dylan. I thought these few personal anecdotes may be of interest to some…

Alex,

Your most recent blog posts have inspired me. I am not even sure if they truly “inspired”, as I am quite motivated in my current day-to-day life; the posts opened something in me. Something that I have long recognized but foolishly shot down.

Thank you, good sir, thank you.
