A question about #Historiography&democracy I posed too implicitly in my review of Stefan Jordan’s book:
Does Jordan conceive the decision about what counts as historical reality, albeit implicitly, in analogy to a democratic decision-making process, as depending on majority consensus?

Sad story. The University of Chicago is, or was?, a unique institution. In related news, their program in history of science has just paused accepting new graduate students. Maybe they should make some spots available for studying the recent history of the University of Chicago?
A great read on UChicago, arguing we’re seeing the result of decades of mismanagement: “The university’s trustees and leaders view it preeminently as a tax-free technology incubator, and its debt load is so great that it is abandoning ideals it once held dear in order to sustain that goal.”
