Inspired by this article, where the Deputy Dean of a Quite Important University writes about the Bachelor, I have decided to take the plunge and start this. I'm not a deputy dean (of anything) but I spend a lot of time wallowing in the shores of popular culture and, often, diving into its murky depths (while murdering metaphors/whatever this is). The posts will be short and generally pretty much what I read that day (or came across that day).
Who am I? I"m a junior faculty person at a large public university in the United States. I teach students about (US) national security, foreign policy and research methods. I'm also teaching a seminar on "Asymmetric Warfare" for Fall 2013. I'll write more about myself as time goes on--need to save it so y'all don't quit after the first read.
My profile picture shows me hanging out in front of a Hobbit House. As one does.
The web address for this blog comes from this Sherlock Holmes quote which sums up what I would like to do here: "You know my method. It is founded upon the observation of trifles."
The title of the blog itself is from an old Doctor Who episode, Survival (1989)
There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea is asleep and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do.
