Welcome to Mahoney’s Fall 2011 Honors Comp Class!
We’ve done the face-to-face welcome, so I thought I would shoot over to our class blog and welcome you here as well. I am looking forward to a very engaging semester and if class on Tuesday was any indication, you all seem up for the challenge!
Over the next few days, I will send each of you an invitation to join this blog as writers. All of the invitations will be sent to your KU email addresses, so make sure you check them. If you did not receive an invite, please make sure to check your junk mail because sometimes these invites get swept up in the university’s spam filter.
When you receive your invitation, click on the link provided and follow the instructions for joining the blog. It will take a few days for us to work out all the technical kinks, but I will make sure everyone is up in running well before I ask you to post.
In the meantime, hope your semester is off to a fabulous start!

A Hopeful Vision for Higher Ed
Taking the Classroom to the Field
An old student of mine, Bernie Pollack, posted this recently and it seems to be right along the lines of some of the things we’ve been talking about in class. Here’s the link to the original page:
And here’s the accompanying video:
Local Food Connection at KU
I just checked out this story in the Reading Eagle and am bummed that I missed the announcement that the film Lunch Line was showing at KU. It’s right up our ally. The other thing about the story that is interesting is that the article mentions Kutztown University’s “Local Food Alliance”:
Kutztown University recently screened the film for 130 students as part of the university’s Local Food Alliance. The initiative takes an interdisciplinary look at food, farming and sustainable communities, said Dr. Christopher Sacchi, a biology professor and alliance member.
Looks like some of the issues we have been discussing in class are already underway. Nice to know! Here’s the link to the full article:
New post on Food, Inc.

speaker from Farm Sanctuary tomorrow night
Hey all,
Given that we will slowly be moving into our “food” theme pretty soon, I thought this might be of interest to some of you:
Farm Sanctuary presentation by Gene Baur. Longtime anti-cruelty activist and author Gene Baur (MS, Agricultural Economics, Cornell University) will speak on factory farming and other issues Wednesday, Sept. 15, at 7 p.m. in Room 201 of the Academic Forum. Well known for his successful campaign to reform Lancaster Stockyards, Baur is founder and president of Farm Sanctuary of Watkins Glen, N.Y. The book, “Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food,” will be available for sale and signing. If you’d like suggestions for integrating this event in your courses, or if you’re interested in meeting Baur, contact VEG advisors Bob Flatley or Bruce Jensen of Rohrbach Library. For more information, please visit Farm Sanctuary - http://www.farmsanctuary.org/ Life Behind Bars - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v3GMv9FAPY&feature=related
Bruce Jensen, Rohrbach Library
I don’t know very much about this group, but another faculty member sent me the announcement because he knew we were talking about food and food policy in our class.
See you in a little bit!
