Last night’s post Rethinking Blogging-As-Scholarship has triggered some interesting responses, and I wanted to provide links for those interested: Doug Berman, Steve Bainbridge, Ann Althouse.
In collective response to Doug, Steve, and Ann, I agree that the question isn’t whether blogging “is” scholarship, “can be” scholarship, or “has to be” scholarship. Rather, I think the question is the extent to which those who write scholarly blog posts are participating in a useful way (and are recognized as participating in a useful way) in the scholarly enterprise. My sense is that they often are, more than I anticipated in 2005.
