If you’re interested, this is what my HPCP Senior Seminar students and I worked on today - developing a strategy for interpretive planning. The students are each doing their own interpretive projects.

Grading gets in the way of blogging, not to mention eating and sleeping! To all my students, let me assure you that I am not a professor to hold on to your projects to torture you. I take grading seriously, and with so many of you, that means grading doesn’t go quickly. I promise that I will post a celebratory note here when I am done grading and posting said grades to WebCT for you!
In other news, I have more time this week to catch up on email (or I would if I wasn’t grading) because my administrative duties with the graduate program have eased now that the curriculum revisions have entered their final stage. Next week, however, I will be out of town. Anyone needing advising before the 8th should see me before the 1st OR make arrangements to see a different advisor.
Here’s hoping you hear from me soon about finished grades!

I’ll be the first to jump on the “blogging is easy!” train, but I’m still finding it hard to find the time for it. Twice a week was my goal, and so far I’m hitting just about weekly instead. Alas…
Today’s post is about some links that will be of interest to my senior seminar students as well as upcoming events in our programs. First the links - want to know more about…
The Redcoat Exeter Interpretation Program? http://www.exeter.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=668
The Bayeux Tapestry? http://www.bayeuxtapestry.org.uk/
Or the Ename Charter on Interpretation? http://enamecharter.org/ - this isn’t something we’ve talked about much, but it will come up later. This is a proposed international charter on interpretation standards - yet another framework for you to drawn on with your projects.
And now for Announcements of interest!
Sept 17th around 6 p.m. - Travel Presentations in 12 Bull followed by food! Come to learn more about the ARTH and HPCP majors.
Sept 20th at 7 p.m. in Simons 309 - Dr. Liebhart’s lecture on the oldest wooden building.
Sept 21st around 5 p.m. in 12 Bull - HPCP Happy Hour.

Hello again!
Today is the day for new experiments. I’ve put some slides into a show for you to view and think on Boston (as we discussed in intro on Friday). For those in Urban Planning and other visitors, I hope this is an interesting series of maps for you to look at. The context of our discussion was the birth of the preservation movement in Boston, including the effects of the fire (1872) and the concepts of visual values, cityscape, and vista.
I’ll be posting more slide shows in the future if this works well!
