I’ve been past due in revising this blog’s mission in light of better articulations of what it is I want to achieve with it and why, and why I’m critical in the ways that I am. Not mentioned is that the blog is intended mainly to revise my own thinking in a way that if others are interested in what I’m thinking about, they can have access to it. But, hey, aim high, right? Also, there is now no mention of the blog dealing with the concerns of early-career scholars, nor who can be a contributor (seeing as we have not exactly been flooded with requests!). The new “manifesto” with updated contributor biographies can be found in the About tab.
