The academic life (thoughts for the beginning of spring)
Posted in Academe on March 22, 2018 | 10 Comments »
Or, Things I love, like, dislike, and hate about it… I love that I can research, write, talk, think, and teach about things that I’m passionate about, or at least care very much about. And because that passion derives from a sense that the world needs certain kinds of engagement and that my activity can […]

For those following the debate over the article “The Case for Colonialism,” the following adds little new. It’s mostly a way of summarizing the issue and collecting some useful links in one place. There’s a lesson for academia in the flare-up over the Third World Quarterly article “The Case for Colonialism” by Bruce Gilley. The […]

Ecocritical blooms
Posted in Academe, tagged book series, Ecocritical Theory and Practice, environmental humanities on July 23, 2016 | 9 Comments »
Lexington’s Ecocritical Theory and Practice Series just got its own catalogue, which tells us the series is doing well.
