Yes, it's been a long time. And, yes, I've done a good deal in the past months. But, now, I shan't be documenting them all since, quite frankly, it probably wouldn't be all that interesting to read about.
However, there are some good things out there to read. Here are some links:
Diana Chapman Walsh is one of my favorite people, EVER. I want to grow up and be like her (or at least be *liked* by her — and there's some evidence that she just might). Anytime she's gonna be at a conference, I do my best to get to that conference....that's how fabulous she is. Here's an article by her that's in Inside Higher Education.
Then there's this article in the New York Times reporting on a study that documents the importance, long term, of one's kindergarten teacher.
Here's an article challenging the whole 'you must publish in order to be a good academic' thinking. The fact that I agree with the sentiment may have drastically colored my assessment of the article.
