The Chronicle of Higher Education: Colloquy

COLLOQUY

Responses


I dress for my own comfort and that of people who see me. I teach seven or more yoga classes a week, am on the library staff, and I perform music on the classical guitar, flutes and other instruments. Sometimes all of those activities will happen in one day. Comfort is on the top of the list, so I choose things that are other-worldly and speak of my spiritual and artistic interests. Additionally, more and more people appear to be regarding the necktie as a symbol of distant, inaccessible, unsympathetic people.
