Academic Blogging
I wanted to point you to two interesting essays about the pros and cons of academic blogging;An Enthusiast’s View of Academic Blogs and, A Skeptic’s Take on Academic Blogs.
Finally, if you take a look on the right column of this blog you’ll find a category; “blogs of note.” Have a look around and tell me what you think. In particular, have a look at, Public Reason. This is a blog for political theorist which is limited to Ph.d’s working in the field. As a new blog they are dealing with some interesting organizational and operational issues which are important for those of us looking to build our own community.
One Response to “Academic Blogging”
Public Reason seems to me to be a fairly well organized blog. The actual setup, though very simple, but through its lack of too many confusing details, makes it easy for users to navigate around the site.
I especially like that papers put out on the blog by the students are so easily accessed, as well as their elaborate page on links. This could, perhaps, be better arranged. For example, web pages on history could be put under a ‘History’ category and blogs could be put under a seperate ‘Blogs’ category.
