I have been dedicated to teaching and the field of education my entire career. After college, I worked at the Coali- tion for the Homeless in New York where I met and worked with many wonderful children and families who were living in extreme poverty and had little access to stable, much less, exceptional schools. From that point, I've worked in schooling, teaching and learning in one form or another, with a key focus on access, excellence and equity. What do you teach at the University of Mich- igan? I teach both under- graduate and master's students at Michigan. Right now, I'm teach- ing ED118: Schooling in a Multicultural Society. Although it's a large class, we treat it like a seminar, with lots of student inves- tigation and discussion. We use many different kinds of texts to address three main questions: What are the purposes of schooling in the U.S.? How do schools work? And what is involved in improving schools? What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? I love to cook, do yoga, play with my kids, listen to them play guitar ... and read! What is your favorite dish to cook? Ilived in Thailand with my husband - I taught at a Teachers College there - so my favorite food to cook is Thai food. I loved eating Thai food for an entire year and half. I especially enjoyed start- ing my day with a bowl of hot steaming noodle soup in an outdoor cafeteria with my students. What is the best part about being a professor at the University of z Michigan?x I am so fascinated by the way that my students make sense of our work together, and I've been inspired by their creativ- ity. At the close of every semester, I always feel so sad that my time with my students is over, but every new semester, I'm r greeted by more incredi- ble students. It's an honor and a privilege to work with such thoughtful learners. COURTESY OF SIMONA GOLDIN Simona Goldin, a lecturer in the School of Educa- - CECE ZHOU tion, once taught in Thailand.

Libyan official: Gadhafi son's capture unconfirmed Visit an Mcard office soon: Pre-emptive reports of son's seizure prompts celebration TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) - A Libyan spokesman said yester- day that revolutionary forces have captured some fighters close to one of Moammar Gad- hafi's sons in the fugitive lead- er's hometown but that he has no information that the son himself has been seized. Jalal el-Gallal, a spokes- man for the National Transi- tional Council in the eastern city of Benghazi, said his office has called commanders in the besieged city of Sirte and "so far as we are concerned there is no confirmation that Mutassim Gadhafi has been captured." He was commenting on reports that the son had been seized, which prompted heavy celebratory gunfire in Tripoli and the eastern city of Beng- hazi. Anti-Gadhafi fighters have been closing in on armed sup- porters of the fugitive leader in Sirte, the most important of two major cities yet to be cleared of loyalists more than two months after the fall of Tripoli. Libyan officials have said they believe Mutassim Gadhafi and other high-level former regime fig- ures are hiding in Sirte and that is the reason for the fierce resis- tance. Mutassim was Libya's nation- al security adviser and had a strong role in the military and security forces under his father's regime. Libya's de facto leader, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, said ear- lier yesterday he expected to declare total victory in less than a week, which would pave the way for a new interim govern- ment to be named to guide the oil-rich North African nation to elections within eight months. "I hope that liberation will be declared in less than a week, after we free Sirte, and within less than a month we will form a transitional government and the youth and women will have a role in that," Abdul-Jalil said at a joint news conference with visiting Tunisian Prime Minis- ter Caid Essebsi in Benghazi. Gadhafi is still on the run and his supporters also hold the desert enclave of Bani Walid. But the transitional leadership says Sirte's capture will give them full control of the coun- try's ports and harbors, allow- ing them to move forward with efforts to restore normalcy and establish a democracy. The International Commit- tee of the Red Cross warned that thousands of civilians were still trapped inside Sirte with- out sufficient food, clean water and other basic necessities. Red Cross staff evacuated 25 war- wounded and other patients, including a newborn baby in its incubator, from the main Ibn Sina hospital in the coastal city on Monday and Tuesday. Few doctors or nurses remained, the Red Cross said in a statement. "The situation inside the hospital is very chaotic and dis- tressing," the ICRC's Patrick Schwaerzler said. "When we arrived there, we found patients with severe burns and shrapnel wounds. Some had sustained recent amputations. A few were half-conscious. They were lying among crowds of other people who were also asking us for help."
