diane, Professor, at 11:25 am cole hauser EST on February 14, 2006 Boundaries This episode illustrates the interesting gap in notions of public & private that operates intergenerationally and probably along other lines. Facebook is an amazing portrait of what kids will permit to be published regarding them and their views. I guess blogs are as well. But the line between what should be said or seen among friends vs. what’s okay for the world to know about you is blurred with those living an online lives. Awful cole hauser things are often said cole hauser about teachers. Way back in undergrad (okayin the “60’s” — such a boomer I am), I did a folklore paper on graffitti around the restrooms in UT’s academic buildings. There was a LOT of anonymous commentary on profs there! Rarely was it complimentary. It certainly shaped my bathroom choices as a faculty member — don’t go where you might have to read about yourself!! Moreover, there’s a grapevine about faculty that we can sometimes tap into via a trusting student — ie, I know who a lot of students hate at TCU and why, Facebook aside.
