And this isn't a small enthusiast outfit. Everyone here - the author and the editors (going by who signed their launch press release) - is a full time, tenure-track academic (except me). It seems to me that an academic venture conducted by established academics...

As far as I can see, the press release is signed by an adjunct, a school-teacher, and a lecturer in a public university in Poland (where words 'tenure-track' are meaningless). Hardly a group of major academic privilege.

Yes, I see I misread the academic titles here. It can be hard to read from one national system to the other.

Sure - but I rest my point: it's simply not the kind of established institution that you seemed to assume.

This isn't a question of 'established' or not but rather that this is a publication with real aspirations towards seriousness, so I treated it seriously and so it got serious criticism. I too am an adjunct running a web publication with zero institutional support.

And it sometimes gets meaningful criticism on twitter when people think I'm wrong (e.g. https://twitter.com/Roelkonijn/status/1395040090808889355 …). I smile, take on board the points I think are valid and move on. It's the price of admission into serious-scholar-land.

Dr Roel Konijnendijk @RoelkonijnI have been asked for my thoughts on the 'battle' part of@BretDevereaux' wildly successful blog series on the myth of Sparta. With his permission, I shall now proceed to apply pedantry to his pedantry. 1/help https://acoup.blog/2019/09/20/collections-this-isnt-sparta-part-vi-spartan-battle/ …Näytä tämä ketju1 vastaus 0 uudelleentwiittausta 1 tykkäys -
To repeat: I've nothing against serious criticisms of Peter Singer or indeed of the editorial decision to publish him. They're fair game (indeed I happen to be critical myself).

What I am against is the assumption that it's therefore unacceptable for anyone to publish a popular article in Antigone, let alone that it would be somehow ok for a job panel to blacklist people for having done so.

To be clear, in the unlikely event that I was ever on a hiring committee, I wouldn't hold it against anyone. People should stand on their own work. But that's just not the academic world we live in, especially when the job market is such an uphill climb.

I discuss my views on outreach and public engagement work here: https://twitter.com/BretDevereaux/status/1399801651674988544 … But in short, I think it is very important, though a lot of things that get called engagement don't actually engage the public as much as they might.

Because we all know that when it comes to jobs, public engagement doesn't 'count.' You get what you pay for.
It's not the only thing that matters, but if we don't re-engage the public with our field, we're not going to be able to do any of the other things either. end/16
