In thinking through how I might revamp the journal once again to do that I came across some images I think should be in a separate photography gallery.

Since traveling gets in the way of this fun stuff I went to Recreation.gov and booked site 42 through Christmas (site 42 is already booked by someone else from the 26th on). That should give me the time I want to put some basic changes in place here at CoxonTool.com.

The Credential of the Dominant

The general veneration that greets the academy is a sign of its near-sacred station and of the importance of its role in, as Bourdieu would view it, the reproduction of the dominant class and its habitus. Although the rewards of academics are middling in terms of financial capital, the cultural capital they accrue cannot be surpassed. To have a college degree -- only about one-quarter of American adults do -- is to have the credential of the dominant; not to have a college degree is to remain forever among the dominated.
