@ProfSimonton @theo_nash Exactly. Distribution reqs are old school. Now it's all Integrated, outcomes based. Institution-wide standards, but absolutely no standardized content.

Thank you, @FlintDibble, for speaking up on behalf archaeology, classics, history, and science. Shame on you, @Discovery, for spreading nonsense that undermines public understanding of each of these disciplines.

Omg. Just realized I could have made one of those "unboxing" videos!

@magistracohen Also: mostly literary, or can veer into social? (I enjoy thinking about this question, but feel free to tell me no need of more ideas!)

What is the one theory-oriented book (or article) you would recommend for inclusion on a reading list for comps? Asking for my list, which is light on #Classics!
