6. Blast from the Past: “We have been observing behavior like [this] for over a decade. Why was he so rarely called on it by other philosophers?” — five years ago
7. “Why aren’t more doctoral students writing protest letters to their departments? Let’s not wait for them to do so before we act ourselves.” — reflections on the “polite revolt” in Columbia’s English and Comparative Literature Department

Mini-Heap posts appear when 7 or so new items accumulate in the Heap of Links, the ever-growing collection of items from around the web that may be of interest to philosophers.

The Heap of Links consists partly of suggestions from readers; if you find something online that you think would be of interest to the philosophical community, please send it in for consideration for the Heap. Thanks!
