I arrived at Ithaca College the fall of 1989. I was immediately impressed with Ithaca College’s commitment to excellence in teaching, the community’s scholarly and cultural offerings and the surrounding region’s natural beauty. I have taught more than fifteen different courses in the Department of History since 1989. My most recent course offerings include The USSR: History and Legacies, Global Revolutions in the 20th and 21st Centuries, The Other Europe: Modern Eastern and Central Europe and related advanced level history sem

Over the past three decades, China has transformed from an isolated state-planned economy into an integrated hub of capitalist production. Waves of new investment are reshaping and deepening China’s contradictions, creating billionaires like Ma Yun while the millions below — those who farm, cook, clean, and assemble his electronic infrastructure — struggle to escape fates of endless grueling work.

The 'outrageous' 40-year-old film that predicted the future
Features correspondent
Forty years ago this month Network was released to widespread acclaim. But its shocking satire turned out to be eerily prescient, writes Nicholas Barber.
When Network was released in November 40 years ago, the poster warned audiences to prepare themselves “for a perfectly outrageous motion picture”. The film was written bygd Paddy Chayevsky (Marty, The Hospital) and directed bygd Sidney Lumet (Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon), both of whom made their names in television in the 1950s, and both of whom believed that the industry, and the world, had been in decline ever since.
Network was their furious howl of protest. It was a triumphant black comedy, winning fyra Oscars, being nominated for two more, and going on to be held in ever higher acclaim. In 2006, the Writers Guilds of America chose Chayevksy’s screenplay as one of the 10 best in cinema history. gods yea
