While it hasn’t quite caught on in the UK as much, the world of Academic Blogging is a treasure trove of information or as Berkeley economist Brad DeLong noted, it acts as an almost Invisible College, which anybody (who has access to the internet) can attend. Be it from Paul Krugmans infamous Conscience of a Liberal to Project Syndicates monthly updates from Joseph Stiglitz to Joschka Fischer.
As far as I’m aware the only daily academic blogger at the University of Birmingham appears to be American Scott Lucas from the American and Canadian Studies Department with Enduring America. However, I’d like to think he wasn’t the only one, does anybody know any other University of Birmingham academic bloggers?
I used a blog for an MBA intro to accounting course.
