Juan Cole in Madison

The University of Michigan's Juan Cole, whom a few of you may have heard of, will be giving a lecture titled "The Emergence of Shi'ite Iraq" Monday, December 6 at 4 p.m. in the Pyle Center Auditorium. If you're in town, be sure to come on by.

By the way, I recommend this post by Cole about liberal bias in universities. I agree it's there, but the causes are sociological rather than structural, and applying any radical structural solution would create lots of new problems without solving this one.
