July 1995: Somewhere in Michigan
(Doherty's Thread)
On the road to a Hootie and the Blowfish concert near
the campus Michigan State University, while stuck in traffic,
Becky Rickly idly wonders, "What do you think a journal for
the kind of work we're doing would look like?"
The rest of the conversation is lost — apologies, Plato —
in the ephemera of time, but the few basic ideas we settled on
while waiting to hear Darius Rucker wail about how the Dolphins
make him cry were these:
- It would need to be online only and hosted, if not sponsored,
by an established department.
- To be accepted by tenure/promotion review committees,
it would need to use the "language" of print journals — editions,
deadlines, peer review. (But if it would need to be peer-reviewed,
who in "our field" constituted "peers" capable of review?)
- It would require a hell of a lot of work by people who might
not ever get any credit for that work.
