Ralph Luker, at Cliopatria, Notes:Congratulations to Jacob T. Levy who has accepted an appointment as Tomlinson Professor of Political Theory in the Political Science Department at McGill University. A former member of The Volokh Conspiracy, Levy is one of my favorite commentators at places like Crooked Timber. Last year, when both he and Daniel Drezner were denied tenure at the University of Chicago, it seemed to suggest that Ivan Tribble was right about academic blogging. Now that both Drezner and Levy have landed on their feet – Drezner at Tufts and Levy at McGill – Tribble looks less persuasive, pathetic even. True about La Tribble, who has been awfully quiet lately as one after another blogger sorts through attractive academic job offers... Gotta wonder about the University of Chicago too -- is the current department composed of avant-gardists experimenting with Gidean actes gratuits? |
