One of my strengths is my ability to talk and communicate with people.

Our goals and what we hope to achieve by moving to food assistance is even in supporting the crisis needs of the most vulnerable people, we provide them with the capacity to be more resilient to the next shock.

When people are hungry, when a mother or father is facing a child that they can't feed, you can't ask that family to lay down their arms.

If we're afraid to stand in our own skin with those we work with, then how do we lead those who have no voice at all?

As a teacher, my strategy is to encourage questioning. I'm the least authoritarian professor you'll ever meet.

I lived in a world where social arrangements were taken for granted and assumed to be timeless. A child's obligation was to learn these usages, not to question them. The complexities of racial deportment were of a piece with learning manners and etiquette more generally.

There are no tests similar to SATs to tell us how much undergraduates know. State legislators, who appropriate billions of dollars each year to higher education, are naturally interested in finding out what they are getting for their money.

There are some things that I like, like education, wine, and I'd like to be a good cook, although I'm a pretty good eater now.
