A regular EMUTalk.org reader sent me this link: “A simple request: Be a Two Coats collaborator.” As I understand it, Sharon Butler, who is an art professor at Eastern Connecticut State University and who is also up for promotion, has invited folks in the blogosphere to write her letters of support for her promotion. As part of this process, she will exhibit these letters of recommendation as part of an art piece on the act of the process.
I’ll be curious to see how it turns out; it might be kinda cool, but as someone who wrote a couple of external reviews for tenure this past summer, it’s a lot more boring than it is art.
