Controversial opinion:
Search committees shouldn’t request letters of recommendation from candidates until the phone interview stage, at the earliest. Take the pressure off of the candidates, their mentors, and the committee members.

Are security worries making into a island (or even a data fortress) blocking access to outsiders?

China experience is needed to navigate the dos and don'ts of research cooperation.

We loved seeing all of you at CP 2023 this year!

We hope everyone has recovered from their jet lag and managed to get some rest before the start of the Academic year.

If you want to reminisce about more relaxed time, you can find this year's pictures on our website: cp2023.a4cp.org

So last week I told my colleague one of my favourite travel stories of all time.

He liked it, and encouraged me to write a blog post about, so here it is: latower.github.io/posts/2023/0

Now I am curious what awesome, unexpected and free thing others have experienced during their travels?

We’re going to get along GREAT.
(FYI, the referred class didn’t start until three days after the start of the semester.)

I just came out of the meeting for my faculty activity report and was thanked for my resilience. 🤦‍♂️ Anyone who participated in yesterday’s conversation will recognize the deep deep ironic cut.

This is the time of year where I see really interesting faculty job openings but then get sad because I've still got a year before I'm on the job market. Please don't take all of the cool jobs before I graduate!

All academics should be following what's happening at and advocating for shared governance, unions, & the liberal arts on their campuses

We get so much guidance on how to identify student burnout.
Do admins get that same amount of guidance to identify burnout?

If you're not already teaching directly from your notetaking app, you should seriously consider it. Some advantages:

1) It's easier to craft lectures in the same place you keep your source material.

2) As you're lecturing, you can access all your sources instantly.

3) As you lecture, you can keep a teaching log in real time about what's working and what's not.

4) It's incredibly easy to recycle your material for future lectures.

I think the Stanford authors of this NYT piece have it backwards.

Don't start a civics class with Great Books. Start with Great Problems, like energy or water. Then work backwards to see how, say, Kierkegaard’s writing about fear illuminates security concerns in the headlines. Then ask students to hold and evaluate Socratic dialogues with such thinkers using
