Toward an Urban Cultural Studies: Henri Lefebvre, Space and Cultural Production
Given the increased dialogue across Geography and the Humanities, the
work of Henri Lefebvre offers a way forward for interdisciplinary
scholarship centered on the city. Taxi driver, intellectual godfather of 1968,
urban revolutionary, Marxist philosopher, spatial theorist, critic of everyday
life, cultural critic, and even pedagogue—Lefebvre articulates an urban

A Top-Tier Visit to TiER 1
On Friday, before the scorching Memorial Day Weekend, A&S Hive team members Derek Eggers, Amelia Stevens, Carly Germann, Russ Caldwell, and myself made a special visit to TiER 1 Performance Solutions in Covington, KY. Almost immediately, the similarities between the culture and workflow of TiER 1 and the HIVE were easy to spot. The HIVE, a fusion of creative and technical services does everything from designing and leading the online education offered by the College to producing video and audio content for all of A&S. Rooted in instructional design, TiER 1 organizes itself into teams (just like the HIVE) to satisfy the needs of their clients.

Day 14, Beijing
We fly out of Beijing in the morning. The last few days have been some of the most exhausting and inspiring days of my life--from visiting the Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China, to gazing at Huangguoshu Waterfall
to touring Famen Temple in Shanxi province to climbing the Great Wall. Kevin and I have experienced so much generosity and kindness during our visit, and I have had so many moments of pure awe over the last two weeks. Take a look.
