I’m sitting in the Richmond area, getting ready to fly to London for a handful of publicity engagements: a Wednesday radio interview at 10 AM on BBC 4, a Wednesday night interview on Night Waves, the BBC 3 radio program, and a Thursday lunchtime lecture at the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts. You [...]
Well, folks…I had hoped to finish the History of the Medieval World by the end of the summer, but I’m still writing away–which means that I’m feelingly particularly miserly with my time just now, since I scheduled teaching at William & Mary for this fall and also agreed to a certain amount of travelling for [...]
If you feel like settling in for a fascinating long read…here’s a review-essay that just ran in The Chronicle of Higher Education, academia’s professional journal. It may not convince you to run out and buy The Art of the Public Grovel, but it certainly points out just what a difficult election season we’re in for. [...]
Back from New York now…and still laughing about my presentation at the Princeton Club. It went just fine. In fact, my audience got so involved that they started arguing with each other about my thesis and I had to wave them down several times and say, “Hey, can I get to my next point here?” [...]
I’m sitting in the Richmond airport, getting ready to fly JetBlue to New York, where tomorrow evening I’ll be speaking at the Princeton Club. I’ve got several other interviews scheduled for today and tomorrow, and then I’m flying back early on Thursday (I’m teaching Thursday afternoon). Then I’m heading back out to Princeton next Monday, [...]
I’ve got four radio interviews about the Art of the Public Grovel scheduled this week. If you happen to be able to tune in to any of them, please do…and a couple of them are call-in shows, so you could always phone up and chat. Anyway, here they are (all times are Virginia times…) Wednesday, [...]
Highly insightful and positive, that is. (Is there any other kind?) Thanks, kind reviewers at the Richmond Times Dispatch and at Books & Culture (which made The Art of the Public Grovel its Book of the Week).
As of this week, you can buy the Art of the Public Grovel here and here and here and in a number of other places, including bookstores in Canada and England and Japan. You can read an excerpt here, courtesy of Princeton University Press. It’s popped up on an occasional blog. I found it on [...]
Just a quick note: you can read a few of my thoughts on the Edwards Affair here. More soon.
I’ve been in Seattle since Thursday, first speaking at the Washington education conference, and then spending a few days with my brother and sister-in-law and their baby. Daniel and Em came with me to this conference, since they’ve never met their cousin. (Em is thinking about this whole another-girl-in-the-family thing) The flight here was…long. Word [...]
