Via some roundabout route, I just stumbled across Sam Quigley’s blog Gavagai. (Cool name for a blog, no?) He has several fun posts on studying philosophy and mathematics in Germany, and a long and insightful post on women in philosophy and academia, summarising the blog dispute to date, noting my tendency to make wild generalisations without much by way of supporting data (sad but true), making a few insightful comments, and providing some interesting comparisons to what things are like in Germany. All good stuff.
