It was not the case when I was an assistant professor, 1968-74, but it has been for some time.Pagan Topologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611788563582362688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-18354002708362090752011-04-28T19:34:07.711-04:002011-04-28T19:34:07.711-04:00I wish they would build a cheaper Kindle without t...I wish they would build a cheaper Kindle without the audio.

They give 10-15 one semester sabbaticals a year , so you are competing with a lot of people. But junior faculty, if the proposal is good, actually has priority. Isn't it great? And actually a great idea as to how to develop young scholars.Spanish profhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248530328973177920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-65401898067007339812011-04-28T16:44:51.415-04:002011-04-28T16:44:51.415-04:00Listening??
