		<title>My Hypothetical Certificate in Applied Modern Chinese Studies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today marks four years since my graduation from the University of California, Berkeley with a Bachelor of Arts in Latin American Studies.  This means I&#8217;ve spent as much time as a university graduate as I did as a university student.  The experiences feel parallel in terms of topical variety and timeframe.  I&#8217;ve spent three of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Defining Modern China: A Little Book with a Multifaceted Perspective.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My colleague Drew gave me this book as a birthday gift.  It&#8217;s a mini-handbag-sized, 140-page overview of modern China.  I particularly like this quote:
