Hey folks, I'm Benjamin Bridgman, and I'm running for Association Chair. I have substantial experience of working within the Students' Association. This includes two years of the SRC, a year of the SSC, and a year convening the Sustainability Subcommittee. I think this makes me well placed to chair ...
I'm going into third year next year to Social Anthropology with Linguistics. Anthropology honours modules are always 30 credits, whereas for Linguistics, modules are all 15 credits with only one per semester. This will mean doing 45 credits for two semesters and 75 credits for two semesters. Has any...
I'm gonna be reaching St. Andrews on tuesday and tried to figure how to reach Albany Park from Edinburgh Airport. I know I can take the shuttle to waverley or haymarket and then the train to leuchars. Just how to I get to Albany park with two suitcases from Leuchars, couldn't figure which bus lands...
Short-haul flights are one of the biggest and most easily avoidable contributors to greenhouse gas emissions anyway, so should be discouraged in my view. Overland travel within Europe is far less damaging to the environment, and it doesn't take all that long really. It can also be quite enjoyable --...
The problem with Zeebrugge-Rosyth is that they don't accept foot passengers anymore. I went to France and back from St Andrews this summer without flying, and it's really not that difficult. I got a EuroLines bus from Lille to London -- my particular one was the overnight bus so it went on the ferry...
Interesting ideas folks, thanks! It's certainly the case that I lack a science background. In fact, I probably have less of a science background than most arts students in St Andrews. My school allowed people to opt for 'single-award general science' (i.e. the minimum) at GCSE, which I did. This pre...
I realise that this is an old thread that's been bumped, but... In the two years I've been a student in St Andrews, I have only needed to wear a suit-and-tie once, and that was because I was playing in a concert in the Younger Hall. Otherwise, I have never attended an event in St Andrews at which ei...
I've changed my mind on this about 10 times over the past couple of months, so I was wondering if anybody here had anything to recommend. Basically, my degree is Social Anthropology with Linguistics, and I'm having to do a 'second' second year this year since I changed my degree at the start of last...
That article is so far off that I actually found it quite hilarious. She also seems to believe that 'transexualism' is an exclusively male-to-female phenomenon, whereas in my experience (and I've met quite a lot of transgendered persons) it's about 50/50. I shouldn't take anything Julie Burchill say...
theory... wrote:I bet she's writing an anthropological study of the porn industry from the inside.
Wouldn't entirely surprise me, since the primary method of conducting fieldwork in social anthropology is through participant-observation. At any rate, it would certainly be the best way of doing it if she is.
It certainly isn't the most sordid path... several graduates went on to commit treason in 1776, don't you know? This has everything to do with education, and nothing to do with morals (as far as I am concerned). Where, oh where, in my post do I make any moral claims or arguments? I may be entitled ...
