Academic Blogs

Sources of information about academic blogs and blogging

The Chronicle of Higher Education’s recent article, “Scholars Who Blog,” is a good place to start to learn about academic blogging. You’ll need a subscription and password to read this article online on the Chronicle’s website.

The article reported that Glenn H. Reynolds’ Instapundit blog gets 100,000 accesses a day, making it the most-visited blog by a scholar.

To see how powerful blogs can be, however, read the Chronicle’s account of Eric Muller’s blog and how he used it to rebut comments by a North Carolina representative about Japanese-American internment during World War II. Muller’s blog: Is that Legal?.

For a list of academic blogs, see Rhetorica.

John K. Wilson blogs about academic freedom.
