Thanks Stuart

Thanks Stuart, for taking time out of your busy schedule to blog with us. I was particularly interested in your second point about putting together Central Works with Johndan Johnson-Eilola. I sometimes think that the intellectual journey we students take from high school, through undergraduates studies, and on to graduate programs is partly a process of deciding what the relationship should be, in our own work, between personal values and the area we are studying. As you rightly point out, we carry values with us. Perhaps those values are not static. Perhaps they are heavily influenced by our backgrounds and our personal experiences. But surely those values influence our work and when we are in the midst of learning the canon of a field that we decide to study, we work at that relationship between the two. It influences the topics we pick to study, to read about, and the ideas we decide to research. Excellent point Stuart.
