Adventures in Blogging - Paul Stoller

Paul Stoller has been writing a popular blog for the Huffington Post since 2011. Blogging, says Stoller, allows him to bring an anthropological perspective to contemporary debates, but it also makes him a better writer--snappier, more concise, and more focused on the connection he wants to make with readers. In this collection of selected blog essays, Stoller models good writing while sharing his insights on politics (including the emergence of Trumpism and the impact of ignorance on political practices in the United States), higher education, social science, media, and well-being. In the process, he discusses the academy's need for greater public engagement and the changing nature of scholarly communication.
