We're very pleased to announce that Kim Krawiec is our newest permanent blogger here at the Faculty Lounge. As many of you know, Kim is a Professor of Law at Duke University. She is a graduate of North Carolina State University and Georgetown Law Center. After practicing at Sullivan & Cromwell, she steadily moved through the legal academy. She got her first teaching gig at Tulsa, then moved to Oregon, North Carolina, and now Duke. She has visited at a flock of great schools, including Harvard, Georgetown, Virginia, Penn, Northwestern, and UCLA. And of course there is the matter of her scholarship. No wonder she feels free to challenge the value of tenure! A list of her publications and presentations is here.
We're thrilled to add such a dynamic new voice to the blog. Welcome Kim!
Welcome, Kim! Glad to have you on board.
Welcome indeed! Looking forward to more of your "egg-cellent" posts!
Thanks guys! I tried to think of an egg rejoinder, but failed entirely. I'll have to leave the puns to Tim.
Kim, perhaps you should have replied with a remark along these lines: Sperm me the accolades! (Yeah, it's a stretch.)
Reflecting on Jacqui's post from the other day, I guess this means that the sequel Krawiec II (permanent blogging) is better than the original Krawiec I(guest blogging).
Sometimes the stretch is the best one, Tim — it shows creativity. As to the sequel being better, Danny, we'll have to wait for the reviews, I guess.
Kim has joined Faculty Lounge full-time! That deserves a standing ova-tion!
Welcome, Kim! Glad you will be lounging with us!
Thanks Laura. Sarah, you definitely win the pun contest! We need to develop some Faculty Lounge schwag to give as prizes.
Kim, congrats–I've really enjoyed reading your posts!
Glad you're sticking around, Kim. We're carrying a nice, cushy arm chair into the lounge for you right now.
Thanks, Dan — it's a mutual admiration society, then, as I've been a fan of yours for awhile now. Hey Al — you do know that you're the one I'm going to blame when I miss all my deadlines thanks to blogging addiction now, right?
Blame, credit. There's a fine line between those two things. Just depends how one looks at this. My guess is that the four part tenure series is morphing itself into a journal article as we speak.
Keep on the sunny side of life!
I've been enjoying your posts… glad I'll get to read more of them. 🙂
Thanks Miriam. I'm happy to hear someone's been reading them!
