The Importance of Tenure

A friend forwarded this to me, on the sure knowledge that I (like many of us) would appreciate it.

  

Ivory Tower of Love

According to a colleague of mine, this is why I chose my career:

Quote:

Five panellists presented on the subject [conference sex], drawing on broad themes of sexuality, professional conduct and literary theory. Jennifer Drouin (Allegheny College) outlined different types of conference sex, such as career-building sex and bi-curious sex; Ann Pellegrini (New York University), discussed literature as a first love; Milton Wendland (University of Kansas) discussed sexualized conference jargon; Israel Reyes (Dartmouth College) covered sexual harassment; and Daniel Contreras (Fordham University) lamented the lack of intellectual risk-taking at recent conferences. Pellegrini presented while wearing a bathrobe.

Pellegrini is living my dream. Can't wait to "deliver a paper" at my next conference!
