@Kevin_W_Kind I’ve been on the search/hiring side and I can’t imagine a circumstance in which I would find it helpful to make a candidate do that. The material submitted in an application should be a starting point for a discussion of teaching in the interview.

@TaoJiangScholar I’m so sorry for your loss. May her memory be a blessing to you and your family

Probably the hardest review I've had to write, but I try to put the field and inquiry about early modern empires in broader perspective here.

@siegeweather Worth remembering that Beatrice Bartlett worked on her Grand Council book for two decades including years of archival work in Taipei and Beijing. Much of the value of the book for scholars is not in the big argument, but in the detail, the back matter, the footnotes.

@school_tales Laurel Ulrich’s Presidential Address In AHR from around 2010- focused on a quilt

@siegeweather Perhaps you are missing the true significance of this study- the antecedents of Thomas the Tank Engine and his comrades were the products of Late Qing engineering

@chowleen Oooooooh somehow a I missed Berger and Michael’s, must get a copy…. (love Schivelbusch)…

@Webwight @readingthestone Agreed on Story of the Stone. I kinda like Mirror for the Romantic - except that the Jia Rui episode gives that a different inflection.

[Richard Horowitz @bookwitz]

@Webwight Oooh… I think I need that….

@ambernoelle @TheLincoln If you chose written you would be done…

@DowntownLouFan “In life Lin Dai-yu was no ordinary mortal, and in death she has become no ordinary shade (Minford, 372). Postmortem she haunts both the surviving characters, and readers alike… #readingthestone

@Webwight For me podcasts make commuting much more productive time. Im not a big a big fan of YouTube

@LDennis1368 @readingthestone I love that chapter too, and I feel like Hawkes’s translation of the poetry works in English (i don’t always feel that way). Can’t speak for its accuracy…

[Richard Horowitz @bookwitz]

@summerbrennan No. To me that is unethical.

@readingthestone @iasann Thank you, Eileen for creating this & also to the always thoughtful Waiyee and Ann for their contributions. It has been a pleasure, and inspired me to get my students #ReadingTheStone this spring. Happy year of the rabbit everyone!

[Richard Horowitz @bookwitz]

@LukeEpplin Halberstam’s book about Michael Jordan is also great

[Richard Horowitz @bookwitz]

@DowntownLouFan I’m sorry to hear that. Wishing you good vibes and a happy transformation.
