But then again, I am a knuckle dragging conflict studies guy, so maybe I am not the best source for evaluating academic culture. :)<br /><br />I would ask you this: what topics would you add to the SMH presentation list to give it that academic respectability? <br /><br />JaronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9440449.post-1108998122663771942005-02-21T10:02:00.000-05:002005-02-21T10:02:00.000-05:00I wish I were as sanguine as you are about adminis...I wish I were as sanguine as you are about administrators "seeing the light," even if faculty do not.

Too much tanks, tactics and battles that military history critics see as lack of intellectual vigor. That being said, given the emphasis on big draw courses in the university in order to increase revenue, one could make that case rather easily, especially using examples like Duke, Calgary etc. At Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
