Our featured post for this evening is Lumpenprofessoriat’s Academic Love. It is of course right up my alley since it discusses the vicissitudes to which interdisciplinary programs are subjected, in the context of “academic rigor and standards” – principles to which we subscribe, but which are often ignored when they ought not to be, and then applied in wrongheaded ways. So that you do not miss the marvelous video to which this post links, I have uploaded it here.
Axé.

Thanks for the post! And I’m glad you enjoyed the video too — that was just lagniappe.
