Reading
Almost nine years after reading Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Enzo Faletto's Dependencia y Desarrollo en America Latina, the Past & Present Reading Group has come back to visit the history of Latin American political economy. In this journey, I have the pleasure of being the Latin American spatial political economist in residence, writing up a review of Amy C. Offner's Sorting Out the Mixed Economy: The Rise and Fall of Welfare and Developmental States in the Americas.
The post Amy C. Offner, Sorting Out the Mixed Economy: The Rise and Fall of Welfare and Developmental States in the Americas appeared first on Progress in Political Economy (PPE).
Welcome to our faculty. We have recently changed our titling norms to more accurately reflect how you will allocate your time.
We will conduct the merit review process approximately seventeen days after your first day on contract, so make those days productive. Merit reviews generally turn into a friendly departmental competition in which faculty try to one-up each other by submitting everything from peer-reviewed journal articles to dramatic retellings of that one time they helped a lost freshman, to thank you notes from students who intended those notes to be kept private. The goal is to place in the top category for merit pay that year, a range that could be anything from zero to upwards of seventy-five dollars per academic semester. There is no actual money available for merit this year, but we will still conduct the reviews. The merit is symbolic.
In December, we will issue student evaluations via email, which students do not check. You will probably get a response rate of 4 to 10 percent, which we’ll consider statistically valid for evaluating your teaching.
