Okay, I didn't exactly wander in: I'd heard John Guillory talk about expand ing the idea of scholarship?unlinking it from publication and thinking instead (along the lines of the Boyer Commission, but with more nuance) of the different ways in which our academic work, what we tend to think of as research but which gets \"cashed\" almost exclusively as publication?at an ADE seminar in the summer of 2004 and knew instantly that his ideas could help loosen some orthodoxies with which we've been living in our profession. Because Guillory's call had very much to do with unseating the scholarly monograph from its supreme position in the academic order, I should say that, having made the connection, I anticipated what the task force had to say. I also vaguely remembered filling out a survey like the one described by members of the task force (but then, as a department chair, I fill out a lot of surveys). Finally, I'd been talking with some of my col leagues in the field of rhetoric and writing studies, with whom I shared the concern that the task force hadn't paid enough attention to the differences between the traditional fields in English and other language departments and other fields, often housed in these departments, whose work wasn't principally hermeneutic and thus not scholarly monograph material.

In his president's column about the Presidential Forum panels in the Win ter 2007 MLA Newsletter, Michael Holquist referred to \"the complex util ity of the humanities\" (3). There are risks in making utilitarian arguments about the value and values of the humanities, but there are also risks in not making such arguments, since other disciplines constantly make them, and the fate of the humanities within the university?the valuation of their labor, their market share of student enrollments, the respect for their research?depends on how the humanities are valued by the world outside the academy and how they are valued within the academy by students and colleagues in other fields. I often talk about a 2002 New York Times profile of the only financial reporter to warn of Enron's fatal fiscal problems. The Fortune Magazine reporter Bethany McLean, at first the Cassandra of the business world, attributed her ability to read Enron's books while everyone else sang its fortunes to her liberal arts education, in particular to her double major in English and math. \" 'When you come out of a liberal arts background,' she said, 'you want to know why something is the way it is.' In account ing, 'there is no reason why. There is no fundamental truth underlying it.'\" McLean credits her liberal arts background with enabling her to see","PeriodicalId":86631,"journal":{"name":"The Osteopathic profession","volume":"32 1","pages":"21-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73568650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There was a sense in the social science and professional republics at our frontiers that the humanities had developed methods (often themselves derived from such disciplines as linguistics and anthropology) that enabled important questions about the nature of the human animal as sign-bearing and sense-making. To my mind, these questions?posed in the structural study of myth, for instance, or in the analysis of the narrative construction of reality?remain important today. A few weeks ago, some students in my introduction-to narrative class, itself a creation of the 1970s, told me it had changed their lives. But I think the more common reaction was expressed recently by one of my colleagues at Yale Law School, who said she no longer looks to the interpretive humanities for inspiration.

And of course \"the MLA\" (as the convention is frequendy called, sometimes without even the article) in many ways is a carnival?or at least is carnivalesque. Not only because of its revelry, or the intellectual inver sions of authority found in many of the papers, but also because the con vention, like carnival, is, underneath its surface chaos, highly structured. I was reminded again of the convention's ritualized aspect while organizing the 2007 Presidential Forum. As part of that preparation, I did a brief review of previous forums. Of course the speakers are different each year, except for their uniform eminence. But the structure of the forum itself has remained pretty much the same for several years now. Even more uni form is the underlying theme pursued each year: since the early 1990s, past presidents, for all their professional and personal differences, have in one way or another almost all organized the forum as a defense of the humanities. The year 2007 was, in this sense at least, no different. I suspect we are all not only responding to current events but also harking back to 1991. That was the year when the MLA Executive Council raised questions about a particular appointment to the NEH board, arousing a storm of attacks against the MLA in the media that were of a totally unexpected","PeriodicalId":86631,"journal":{"name":"The Osteopathic profession","volume":"30 1","pages":"7-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81336726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a longtime higher education junkie and a more recently self appointed expert on higher education policy, I have been one of the many critics lamenting the inability of the academy to redesign the reward sys tem for college and university teachers. People like me have long felt that the existing system overcompensates, research accomplishment while un dercompensating teaching and service, and this systemic dysfunctionality is becoming more pronounced. If only the reward system could be more carefully articulated, many of us argue, more scholars would respond by doing what they really want to do and what they do best. But neither disciplinary departments nor university administrations have been willing to budge from the specification of research as the primary (and, functionally, only) criterion for making tenure, promo tion, and salary judgments. The question for reformers has always been, Where to start?, in making change, and the answer usually has been, Not on my campus; we will begin to think about reform of the reward system when other, comparable departments have acted. The problem worsens the higher one gets on the academic institutional food chain, of course, but it exists even for many departments outside the research university orbit.

While there is a wealth of scholarship on the relation between gender and student evaluations of faculty members, little has been published on how ethnicity (of both faculty members and students) informs students' rat ing of teaching effectiveness. Throughout research into issues specific to minority faculty members there are passing references to the sometimes unfair use of student evaluations to determine faculty tenure, promotion, and merit pay; but these references do not and cannot serve as pertinent scholarship on how a faculty member's ethnic background creates biases that reveal themselves in those evaluations. In one of the few essays that address the relation between ethnicity and evaluation, Heidi J. Nast explores, among other things, \"student re sistances to multicultural teaching and faculty diversity [and] the risks that derive from problematic institutional deployment of student evalua tions as a means of judging multicultural curricular and faculty success\" (103). Nast's essay is especially revealing in the following articulations. First, \"students use evaluations to register anger and disapproval at hav ing to negotiate topics and issues in a scholarly way which conflict with heretofore learned social values and assumptions.\" Second, the likelihood of negative evaluations increases when faculty members \"curricularly ad dress issues of homophobia, racism, classism, misogyny or heterosexism\"","PeriodicalId":86631,"journal":{"name":"The Osteopathic profession","volume":"22 1","pages":"168-173"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78690506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
