TENTH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL
|
|
Our Tenth Anniversary Issue offers a timeline of recent academic history and a readers' survey of the best books of the last decade. On the web, we're also offering classics of the Lingua Franca canon.
We've put together special archives of articles dealing with some of the particular issues that shaped nineties academic life most dramatically: Click here to read the best of Lingua Franca on labor and tenure, post Cold-War politics, gender and sexuality, theory and its discontents, and academic computing. We've also assembled a collection of ten of our all-time favorite articles. Those articles are listed below.
