I’ve put together a collection, albeit not a comprehensive one, of posts at the Duck of Minerva that focus on what might be called “the profession.” The link is now a tab (Academia and Graduate School) below our banner.
The rationale? Many of our most consistently popular pieces — including ones that still get significant hits years after their publication — fall into this category, so I think it might be a good service to try to consolidate links to them.
In theory, post labels should do that, but after seven years of myriad bloggers our “labels” are a disaster. We have over a thousand; they seem to break the blogger widget, which I have been unable to reinstall.
The page remains a work in progress. We’ll add more posts over time. Noticeable absences include Brian Rathbun’s cutting pieces on the discipline.
