It seems that I got tagged with a “Thinking Blogger Award” by Jenny MCB last year and somehow missed it. Far be it from me to let my laziness get in the way of a meme, so here are four blogs that always make me stop and think:
- Bookforum - What can I say. Every post packed full of links to interesting articles all over the web, covering every topic under the sun, from the politics of poop to the complex task of simplicity just to take a couple of recent examples.
- Eurozine - Eurozine is a network of European cultural journals, linking up 70 partner journals and just as many associated magazines and institutions from nearly all European countries. Eurozine is also a netmagazine which publishes outstanding articles from its partner journals with additional translations into one of the major European languages.
- Arts & Letters Daily - the blog-front of The Chronicle of Higher Education, ALD covers “philosophy, aesthetics, literature, language, ideas, criticism, culture, history, music, art, trends, breakthroughs, disputes, gossip”. A liberal education for the autodidact, all in one place.
- The Edge of the American West - Eric Rauchway and Ari Kelman teach history at a fine public university at the western edge of the American West and blog about applying history to current events.
There are rules that go along with the award:
1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to blogs that make you think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme, ( click on the thinking blogger award)
3. Optional: Proudly display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’ with a link to the post that you wrote
