I received this message from a @mcgillu staff member: “I was on the train home last night. Student in the seat behind me was telling her friend- she is in your class, you are a great professor, your voice keeps her engaged AND she cant wait to start the readings!” Made my day 💗

Dear #AcademicTwitter : universities seldom value book reviews in the humanities and the social sciences. Yet as someone who has published more than 70 of them, I think they are an integral part of scholarly debates and that people who write them learn a lot through the process.
