Holy shit.
Remember a couple blogs ago when I was questioning my future career and the growing influence of politics upon my research agendas? And remember how I had grand plans to talk to the mighty Jim Tyner about this and get some feedback?
Well, this is a totally unsolicited note I just picked up out of my mailbox:
Andrew:
I think that I perhaps most enjoyed your presentation on Indiana's contribution to the war on terror. Why? Because one element that I encourage in students is to look at events from a different perspective. I used to refer to this as a cubist approach. Everyone and their brother is looking at the role of Germany, France, etc., in the war on terror. In part, that is why I looked at the role of the Philippines. And everyone is talking about oil. That, also, is why I focused on labor. Back to Indiana. I honestly think your talk can be converted into an artcile for publication in a political geography journal or, more broadly, a geography journal. Why? Because it shows the importance of place and the local dimensions that underlie the broader support for the war on terror. Your article, thus, would be more about these local-global connections and the confluence of domestic and foreign policy issues, using Indiana as a case study. Think about it.
