The Birth of Territory – published one year ago

Posted on September 9, 2014 by stuartelden

The Birth of TerritoryThe Birth of Territory was published one year ago. In that time it’s been reviewed in six journals, sold enough to suggest it will become my best-selling book, been the object of two ‘author meets critics’ sessions, and won two awards – the 2013 Association of American Geographers Meridian award, and joint winner of the inaugural book award from the journal Global Discourse.

Two review sections are forthcoming – in Political Geography (resulting from the AAG ‘author meets critics’) and Dialogues in Human Geography. The Global Discourse award will lead to a discussion of the book in its pages; and hopefully the contributions from the RGS-IBG session will be published.

Links to all the reviews and much more are on this page.

Guidelines for Philosophical Discussion

Posted on September 8, 2014 by stuartelden

These are interesting, and work as a nice complement to the previous post on presenting and answering questions.

Justin Weinberg's avatarDaily Nous - old

David Chalmers has, with the help of some crowdsourcing, put together a list of “guidelines for respectful, constructive, and inclusive philosophical discussion.” They are “intended primarily for oral philosophical discussion in formal settings: colloquia, conferences, seminars, classes, and so on.”

It is a work in progress, and suggestions and comments are welcome.
