On my way back from getting a chest x-ray done, I saw a demonstration while waiting for a streetcar. It seemed to be Ryerson students petitioning the provincial government for lower tuition rates. I doubt they will have much luck with that, given the mood of austerity, but it’s good to see people making an effort.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford.
Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.

The protest is organized around the goal of having the 30% tuition reduction, which the Ontario government promised, apply to everyone. As of now, it applies to only about 30% of students. It excludes, most importantly, ME!
