Blog Update
Housekeeping issues.
First, I’ve added a few more blogs to my list of Weblogs I Try to Read. That doesn’t mean I agree with all, or even most, of what they say, but it does mean I’ve kept them in my RSS reader so that I can easily skim their postings. The blogs vary in theme and politics, but I often find them thought-provoking and useful.
Second, I’ve added a Social Psychology category. Now that I’m teaching social psychology again I’m more frequently noticing material related to the field’s primary concerns; adding a blog category is the easiest way to add links that some of my students might find interesting or useful for class assignments, though my take on what’s relevant to social psychology is a lot broader than they’ll see in the textbook. Of course, the distinction between the social psychology category and the critical psychology category is rarely clear, and many posts will be listed in both. How to integrate critical psychology into a traditional undergraduate social psychology course is something I’ll save for another day.
Third, I continue to look for a way to make the comments system work without overloading my Mailbox with hundreds of spam comments I have to at least glance through. I may give up.
