“Are all of these professors?”
“You’re not really busy. You do nothing!”
These two statements were made by two American volunteers who were working in North Shewa. I came across them today while reviewing a file from 2015.
The first volunteer was surprised to see many lecturers sitting in the sun at a café housed in a tent. One day she also commented, “This looks like a boys’ club” after noticing that there were no female teachers in the staff lounge. The second comment was made by another volunteer who observed how we spent our days idly. It seems like the same situation is occurring today. If universities are as such imagine what is going on elsewhere in other industries.
One of them used to constantly correct my English, but I stubbornly refused to stop using inappropriate words and grammar. I even tried to provide evidence from books I had read. One day she insisted I should say ‘storage room’ instead of ‘store,’ but I disagreed. She pointed to the books on my table and said, “Just because it’s published, doesn’t mean all this shit on this table is correct.”
