I have distinguished between "posts" and "notices" as categories, with the former comprising those items with content, and the latter merely being announcements of this and that, such that "Recent Posts" on the sidebar only includes the former. I would not want to stop other contributors from posting their notices whenever they like, but I think I will only post notices myself at certain intervals.

Miller Tue, 30 Oct 2007 16:44:06 +0000 http://publicreason.net/2007/10/21/weve-been-noticed/#comment-111 Right now, the top half of the page is overtaken with these notices, which are nice, but not content. My suggestion: gather all the CFPs and journal announcements into a single link per week, or else feed them through a separate 'notices' blog linked off the front page. I'm happy to subscribe to the rss for a normative theory CFP feed, but this blog is mostly interesting insofar as it serves as a place to -do- normative theory, not advertise it.

This blog is off to a great start and looks like a great place for political theory blogging.

So if your department or local research centre for ethics or political theory has an upcoming deadline for fellowship applications, here would be a good place for you to advertise. Heads of search committees might also want to post information about jobs in political philosophy/theory.

And there will be more people coming over this week. Perhaps we should make this a housekeeping thread, if people would like to comment on how they would like to use the forum. I certainly have no top-secret plans for its unfolding, and I'm sure that other people will have many more creative ideas about how to put it to use above and beyond posting papers, ideas, questions, and conference announcements. If people are checking in for the first time, feel free to say what you would like to see at the site, whether you're a political philosopher thinking of joining or a student interested in following the conversation.
