My latest column at Inside Higher Ed is up — “The iPad for Academics“. My review of the iPad was not unabashedly positive — I think it makes a great PDF reader, but that it hardly eclipses the laptop for most of the jobs that academics do. That said, I wanted to make a few [...]
I have a piece on Inside Higher Ed on the Kindle for Academics which you can read, if you choose to.
I have a new column on “The Flaws of Facebook”:http://www.insidehighered.com/views/2009/02/03/golub up at Inside Higher Ed, which is mostly about the reason that I don’t like to use Facebook.
_(I gave this drash at my shul, Sof Ma’arav, yesterday. Exactly as predicted, Littman did point out the inaccuracies in tracing the patrilineal connections between Laban and Jacob so if you see an error, feel free to comment but remember…. most shortcomings have already been reported!)_ This is my first drash at Sof, and I’m [...]

Ah one more quick link: a “new IHE column from me”:http://insidehighered.com/views/2007/06/21/golub
Now for a little self-promotion: I’m very proud to announce the publication of Customary Land Tenure In Australia and Papua New Guinea by the Australian National University Press, which includes a piece by me entitled “From Agency to Agents: Forging Landowners Identities in Porgera”. It is a great volume edited by Katie Glaskin and Jimmy [...]
In case you’ve been wondering about all the words that I’ve been writing that haven’t appeared here, you can find some in my new column at IHE — it’s called “Old Boy Networked”:http://insidehighered.com/views/2007/02/19/golub.
The latest installment of my monthly column is up over at Inside Higher Ed — this time its a musing on answering the question “what do you study?”:http://insidehighered.com/views/2007/01/12/golub. Enjoy!
A new piece of mine, “Christianity — you’re soaking in it!”:http://insidehighered.com/views/2006/11/02/golub is now up at Inside Higher Ed. Let he who has ears hear.
Inside Higher Ed is running another op-ed piece of mine entitled “stepping onto the tenure track”:http://www.insidehighered.com/views/2006/09/19/golub. This actually marks a bit of a change of my relationship with the site — I’ll now be publishing a regular monthly column with them called “tenure tracked” and I’ll now officially be called a ‘columnist’. As far as [...]
I’ve published a new column on Inside Higher Ed which you can read “here”:http://insidehighered.com/views/2006/06/20/golub. It’s part of a double feature with Shari Wilson — her column is “here”:http://insidehighered.com/views/2006/06/20/wilson. So far the response to Shari’s piece has been very positive while I’ve been lambasted by an anonymous commenter. Oh how the worm turns. On the other [...]
“Lightsaber Without A Key”:http://alex.golub.name/log/the-lightsaber-without-a-key/ installment “number seven”:http://alex.golub.name/log/the-lightsaber-without-a-key#VII is now up.
As it turned out posting “Lightsaber Without A Key” on someone else’s server didn’t work out too well and alwaysblack and I decided it would be best if I ran the remainder of the story here on alex.golub.name. Nothing traumatic, just quicker updates this way. There is now a “Lightsaber Without A Key”:http://alex.golub.name/log/the-lightsaber-without-a-key/ page that [...]
Another of my IHE op-eds has appeared — this one is entitled “Passion for Paper”:http://insidehighered.com/views/2006/05/09/golub.
My latest op-ed piece for “Inside Higher Ed”:http://www.insidehighered.com/ is now available and you can “read it here”:http://www.insidehighered.com/views/2006/04/17/golub. I’m happy with the piece, at least stylistically, but it is a lot more personal than a lot of the blogging I’ve done recently (although still I think perfectly acceptable professionally). As usual, the snarky comments from IHE’s [...]

LWOAK IV is now live and “you can read it at AlwaysBlack”:http://www.alwaysblack.com/?p=224 other less important projects like my dissertation and professional career as well as AB’s busy stable of writers has meant this one has been some time in coming, but I’m submitting the next one tonight if it kills me and we should pick [...]
Part III of LWOAK is “now available”:http://www.alwaysblack.com/?p=215 at the always fine always black.
“Part two”:http://www.alwaysblack.com/?p=210 is available over at Alwaysblack’s place. If anyone can come up with a better acronym than “LWOAK” or a short nickname, then please let me know.
I’m very proud to announce that the first installment of the next story in the AHATPOLS series is now live on “alwaysblack.com”:http://www.alwaysblack.com. In honor of another famous pulp novel set in Hawaii, it is called “The Lightsaber Without a Key” and you can “read the first part”:http://www.alwaysblack.com/?p=151#more-151 now. I’ll try to post roughly weekly and [...]
My new ‘viewpoints’ “piece on being rated by ratemyprofessor.com”:http://www.insidehighered.com/views/2005/12/16/golub is now running at Inside Higher Ed.
I’m very pleased to announce that I will be running the sequel to “Andrew Huff And The Pool Of Lost Souls”:http://www.lulu.com/content/128306 over the winter break at “alwaysblack.com”:http://alwaysblack.com/. Alwaysblack is the author of “Bow Nigger”:http://www.alwaysblack.com/blackbox/bownigger.html, the short piece which I start out with in my Virtual Worlds class. As one of the key proponents of “New [...]
The latest issue of Reed Magazine includes “my remembrance of Gail Kelly”:http://web.reed.edu/reed_magazine/nov2005/columns/End_Paper/index.html. The original (which you can “read here”:http://alex.golub.name/log/?p=446) appeared on my blog in a massively extended form. I cut it down and sent it off to Reed Magazine, and they have cut it even a bit more. Please add the words “which required us [...]
Chapter 4: Very readable, perhaps a bit too cute. But still, a lot of fun to read. Chapter 5: If only I had time… for just… one… more… revision…. The diss must be off in the mail on Monday, so on I press.
When fellow college radio DJs Seth Sanders, J Niimi, and I get together in the same room and start talking about music, the air becomes thick with ozone and strange and powerful thoughts start oozing out of our ears and intertwining with one another like a scene out of Dark City. unforunately we have been [...]
A new ‘viewpoints’ piece of mine has appeared at “Inside Higher Ed”:http://www.insidehighered.com/views/2005/10/24/golub. It’s based on an earlier “Savage Minds blog entry”:http://savageminds.org/2005/09/22/what-you-really-really-want/. Doing an op-ed piece about teaching and the state of the academy when you are as green as I am is, of course, a crazy and hubristic thing to do. But I’ll use the [...]
!http://alex.golub.name/pics/ahatpols_cover.jpg! After more than a year of hard work I’m very pleased to announce that “Andrew Huff And The Pool Of Lost Souls”:http://alex.golub.name/ahatpols/ is now on sale at lulu.com. “Buy it here”:http://www.lulu.com/content/128306 I am unbelievably grateful to Andrew, Cinnamon, and Naz for all of the hard work and dedication they put into this project.

It is one of the ironies of academic publication in the age of the internet that tracking down full citations for one’s bibliography inevitable turns up 12 bintillion more things you should have read before you wrote the damn thing in the first place. Most recently this includes a very nice looking volume entitled “Tunnel [...]
