… is now publishing her latest IHE post.

Title: Pathology of the Laptop.

A few months ago, a kind reader put this blog on Facebook.

UD wants to remind her regular readers, and tell her new ones, about this UD resource.

UD‘s extremely proud to appear in the following first paragraph in an Anthony Grafton essay in The New Republic:

Morning, nowadays, means coffee and the Times, as it did for my parents. But it also means something they never experienced: a trip across the Web. Slipping from link to link, occasionally falling in and spending a few minutes in one place, I pass from TNR to NYRB to Bookforum, from Atrios to Steve Benen, from Easily Distracted to University Diaries to Tenured Radical to TigerHawk, from Historiann and Arts & Letters Daily to Cliopatria and Athens & Jerusalem, from Andrew Sullivan to Megan McArdle to Ta-Nehisi Coates—and, for perspective, to the obituaries in the Telegraph.

Talk about being in good company.

Tony’s reviewing Mary Beard‘s latest book — UD and Mary are longtime mutual blog admirers.

UD thanks her friend Christina for noticing the TNR essay.

My New Year’s Inside Higher Ed column is about bondage, discipline, and the American university. In fact, it’s titled BDSM and the American University.

It’ll be up later tonight. As always, click on the title when it appears under the Latest UD Blogs at IHE column to your right.

Here it is.

… has fixed my WordPress page, so links and all the other stuff are now working.

It’s about students and professors and art and derangement.

Actually, it’s not up quite yet.

Hold on.

****************

Here it is.

… should be up shortly. It’s about ed schools. Title: Sheep May Safely Graze.

I’ll link to it as soon as it appears.

Here it is.

… UD was writing a longish post about plagiarism, which should appear at Inside Higher Education any second now.

Ah. Here it is.

And an update on media stuff: Mr UD was indeed interviewed yesterday by the guy from ABC. He told the guy not to listen to Mr UD‘s wife on the subject of laptops in the classroom. Something like that. We’ll see if any of this makes it to the screen.

I’ve updated the column on the right of this page which lists reactions from the blogosphere to University Diaries. Out with the old praise, in with the new.

UD’s grateful for all of these generous words.

She’s also grateful, as ever, to this blog’s webmistress, UD‘s niece, Carolyn. Carolyn did the technical work.

… is going up even as we speak.

It’s a response to a recent Stanley Fish post at his New York Times blog.

Here it is.

… is the title of my latest post at Inside Higher Education. It’s about Jung’s forthcoming Red Book.

… has for some time had its own annual college rankings, with categories and methodology quite different from the US News list. That makes the magazine worth a visit; but more, much more than this is the fact that they list University Diaries on their blogroll.

Today’s my first day of teaching — Novels of Don DeLillo and The Short Story. Who knows how much blogging I’ll get done…

UD thanks her friend Jeff for suggesting that she add a Share This feature to University Diaries. If you click on the Share This icon at the bottom of each post, you can easily forward the post to people, or put it on Facebook, or Tweet it, or whatever.

UD also thanks her beloved webmistress, Carolyn, for strapping the thing on for her.

… as she discovers a link to her blog — to a particularly nasty post at that — on the Facebook page of George Washington University’s Columbian College of Arts and Sciences.

Columbian College of Arts and Sciences English Prof. Margaret Soltan’s blog weighs in on “fair market value” for doctors’ consulting fees after surgeon resigns during Congressional probe.

Etc.

I’m on an official GW university page?

UD ran back to bed and woke up Mr UD.

“Doesn’t this,” she said anxiously, “make me legitimate?”

“Don’t worry,” said Mr UD. “No.”

… a post about Ian Hacking, this year’s recipient of the Holberg Prize.

Title of the post: HACKING TUTORIAL.

Should be up pretty soon at IHE. I’ll link to it when that happens.

Update: The Hacking piece is now up at Inside Higher Ed.
