Love this! Another public cancellation, but with snark!! This is yet another open letter from Steve Cicala, an Assistant Professor at The University of Chicago, Harris School of Public Policy, canceling an upcoming talk at the School of Business! I am cancelling my seminar because I was planning on presenting preliminary work and I would not want to put anyones job at risk. You see, while I personally have developed a thick skin, my ideas are new and fragile. They might be susceptible to abuse, leading the culprit scholar out on the street if untenured, or sent to the intellectual etiquette reeducation camp you must have established to enforce this policy among senior faculty. On the other hand, there isnt much point in presenting at a seminar if everything I am doing wrong must be respected.
