Romance of Research

The Davis Humanities Institute has begun a new blog called Point of View or POV

The space is designed for faculty and graduate students in the humanities to have an open forum to discuss issues related to research to their fields.

The first post on October 6, 2009 is by Claire Waters, associate professor of English. It’s titled “The Romance of Pure Research”. Professor Waters charts a compelling case for exploratory Humanities research, it is a cause the UC Davis library and librarians are happy to support.

Thanks very much for this link and referral to this new blog. I liked Waters’ statement very much, enough to add a comment of my own. The discussion is worth following and continuing.
