What you said was that you expected me to come to his defense against whatever Doug said about him, something about his career climbing rightward movement. now, clearly i did not defend a rightward shift and even stated that several times. so, if my defense was of his use of ethnographic methods and attempt to extend a social science research tradition--whether i agreed with the thrust of that tradition or not is quite irrelevant--then what reason would i have to defend wolfe against doug's comments? absolutely none! I know nothing about his shenanigans, though I readily believe them and hardly expect a book review in the nation to do anything but what book reviews are supposed to do: allow the author of the review to hone whatever axe she's got to hone, not actually bojectively examine a book in terms of its _academic_ merit or lack thereof, let alone do so from within the scholarly tradition the author is working.
what i did say was that he was a decent mentor to me, took the time to have me to a special luncheon only for hotshots at my uni, and has always been responsive, remembering me from just a paper on habermas and a lunch together. this in contrast to the profound lack of such mentoring among women I've known--for the most part--something that is a common issue among most women looking for mentoring from other women. most of us, of course, understand the structural reasons for this problem, however.
the obvious reason for all that, of course, is my brilliance and boobs. thank god i'm getting old.
smooches,
kelley
