Obviously posting has been a bit sparse for the last month or two, and it will likely continue in this fashion throughout the remainder of the fall semester. While we are currently running on silent, this should only be temporary. I myself am currently swamped by a range of responsibilities, including dissertating, working on projects that need to get back out the door, sending out job packets (hint hint), etc. Other contributors have also been unusually busy recently—two have started new jobs, requiring them to relocate and settle in at other universities, and one other contributor is also on the job market.
That said, please don't delete us from your RSS feeds. You can probably expect the occasional post over the next few months, but it will be less regular than we'd like.
To be continued…
