totalnewbie posted:In my Intro to Religion in America class, the very first day during her introduction, the professor started with "I am Dr. so-and-so. Not Ms., not Mrs., Dr. And you will address me as such." Other than accepting "Professor so-and-so" that a perfectly legitimate thing. Sexism in academia is a real issue and women get called "Miss so-and-so" way more often than men get called "Mr. so-and-so."

Well I mean hey, it's typewritten, he deserves a lot of slac-holy cow. This is incredible. Is there a subforum for close reading /mockery of large documents? This would get you a goldmine thread. There's no clear citation system. Most of it appears to be in first pers- I think the text of this was actually dictated. Incredible. I'm inspired. I'm going to ask to give an oral dissertation.

Some of you surely would love the relaxed German culture where you call docs as Herr/Frau Doktor and your boss as Herr Führer/Frau Führerin. Actually I'm not sure if that is followed so strictly anymore, especially the latter...

You knwo, it's been ten years since I had Dr. R as a biology professor, and only took 2 of his classes. And in the ten years since those classes, I've become his family's de factor nanny/babysitter, and his kids treat me like their aunt. But I still have the goddamn urge to call him Dr. R. I helped pottytrain his kids and have to bite back calling him Dr. R and just his first name. Any cool Liberal Logic memes about Fred Phelps biting the big one?

People of all political stripes hated Fred Phelps, so I don't think a series devoted to hating liberals would find much fodder in his death.

I have been stared at, I have been insulted for being fat, all because of a loving lovely rear end situation that is out of my control. Please forgive me for thinking that you thumbing your nose and ing it up here about how I'm trying to have my 'unhealthy lifestyle' left alone when I didn't have a loving choice in the matter can . You don't become an 'accidental smoker'. You don't become a smoker due to medical conditions. You become a smoker because you paid for a cigarette, smoked it in, felt your lungs burning, and said "I like this poo poo, I want to continue this poo poo." I also have severe asthma and allergies but I managed to lose 1/3rd of my bodyweight (~105lbs) by eating right, lifting weights and doing some simple cardio that didn't trigger my asthma which basically went away after a while but you can continue to be a fat goonlord I guess

I'm late to the party but I'm a history graduate student, and we all have to refer to our professors as Prof. Lastname and Prof. Yesreally, and every single one of the professors hates it, save for one, and he is the reason we are discouraged from speaking to all the other professors as they have said they would prefer; Julia, Steve, Bill, Anne, David, Scott, Jenni, and so on. He has jumped up peoples' asses when he has overheard them doing so to such an extent that everyone just goes with it. Our graduate advisor is actually a staff position and not a faculty position. The girl in that job has her PhD in history from Harvard but because of the two-body problem works here as just part of the office staff. She does teach the odd class here and there because it would be stupid to waste a resource like her, but it's also totally cool to call her by her first name because she isn't actually a professor. Most of us at least refer to her by Dr. Lastname in emails because it feels like it is intended as a direct slight not to. He is not the most senior in the department but he is the biggest busybody. He is on the faculty senate and over his career at the university and in the department has volunteered for as many different job responsibilities as he could and will not give them up to anyone now that he has them (which is part of why our department's web page never gets updated, because he refuses to share the password with anyone and considers updating the page to be his job). Most of the other roles in the department, like undergrad advisor and grad advisor and service on search committees and on admissions committees and such, those are all just rotated around from person to person within the department and the full professors rotate the department chair around every couple of years as well, usually to whomever is not finishing a book or something. I have a feeling if he ever gets promoted up from Associate to full Professor, the moment he gets the department chairmanship he'll have it until he dies. Some people really really really love titles and authority. Keshik fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Mar 21, 2014 |

Cross-Posting from PYF. I just want it to end. These guys are all friends of mine. Rick, Will, Sue, and Bill are all veterans. Will joined the Marines, came back hosed up, and became a die-hard Conservative who trapped himself in the Bubble and has refused to come out for air. He lives and breathes the echo chamber. Everything sets him off, but this was the first time I have ever personally seen anyone defend the Koch Brothers.

I will never forget the time a senior member of the department I was a graduate student in, a very famous man in my field with numerous awards and accolades, asked me very graciously to please just call him by his first name during a cocktail hour. The whole point was that we were colleagues-in-training as we worked towards our PhDs, and thus we should strive towards being less formal with one another. Your department busybody sounds like an rear end, but there's always one in every department.
