Nova PhDs

A forum for grads of Villanova's Philosophy PhD program

Category Imperative Redux
Categories have been added to the blog, per Farhang's proposal. A few categories have been set up, following Farhang's list with a few amendments. So far we have the following (these can also be seen in the "Categories" list on the sidebar):

Blog News/Info: For posts like this, or Farhang's post on comments, dealing with intra-blog issues.
Market/Placement: See Farhang's "Market."
Misc.: At this point, for everything that doesn't fit any other category...
News About the Profession: See the same in Farhang's post.
Philosophical Discussion: See the previous posts "Am I Really an Analytic Philosopher," and "I don't think anyone..." for the kind of post that should fit here.
Research: This should fit announcements of recent publications or lectures/presentations, and/or be the place where authors ask for comments on current research issues.
Teaching: See Farhang's post.
Villanova News: Pretty obvious.

There is a drop-down list on the post-writing page where you can select categories. Note that you can put one post under multiple categories, and I imagine that it should often be appropriate to do so. Also, note that the current list of categories is a working list and certainly open to revision.

By the end of the week, all previous posts should be categorized (many are already).
