kieran healy on the philosophy profession

Our friend Kieran has a series of posts on his research at Leiter Reports, the leading academic philosophy blog. Aside from writing on economic sociology, Kieran has begun an ambitious project analyzing the way that philosophers evaluate each other. Three posts so far, each well worth reading:

• The overall pattern of department evaluations.
• Descriptive analysis of who does the ratings.
• Specialties and raters.

I’ve seen this project presented in workshops. There is much more and it is very good. Can’t wait to see more posts.
