rfmcdonaldOver the weekend, I realized that my blogroll and bloggish readings are limited. Current affairs and Toronto affairs and whatnot are all well and good, but where, I wondered, were the blogs that reflected my academic interests? Certainly my degree subjects--English, Anthropology, History--continue to influence my reading, my thinking, my writing. Why, then, were they missing? A furious search proceeded.
You won't find any blogs related to literature, on account of my continuing ambivalence towards the field's fundamentals, also because I don't know where to go apart from The Valve and its imposing heft. History blogs, too, are lacking; maybe I should have searched for historiography blogs instead. The blogs you see listed below, and on the side, all relate to one or another social sciences. They look promising, at least.
