As he said, only one of the subjects was willing to admit that the view she was ascribing to others was in fact her own view. Perhaps its obvious that people don't want to admit to racism, but I found it quite an interesting observation. Also, despite as you say, everyone knows that race is an issue in the election, the fact that Obama's religion (which Pilkington was treating the same as race) was more of an issue to many of the voters was interesting, and indeed worrying, partly because of the inaccuracy, but mainly because of the way in which anti-Obama campaigners (whether affiliated to McCain or not) are so ready to exploit this shameful anti-Muslim sentiment.Megan Kimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00158565422486221675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359267200410636424.post-39785935526255234942008-08-28T13:13:00.000+01:002008-08-28T13:13:00.000+01:00Hi Megan, I'm curious why you found Pilkington's ...Hi Megan, I'm curious why you found Pilkington's article 'thought-provoking'? I found it uninformative, and, more generally, completely speculative (as he himself notes). Race is no doubt an issue in this election; this doesn't get said enough, but visiting an old southern town reveals nothing about the intricacies of this issue. It merely tells us something everyone already knows. So, in what way is the article thought-provoking?Aaron Bogarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691313198489777633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359267200410636424.post-17900217899000236002008-08-26T11:24:00.000+01:002008-08-26T11:24:00.000+01:00It's very nice here.It's very nice here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359267200410636424.post-13958378307057637612008-08-26T10:18:00.000+01:002008-08-26T10:18:00.000+01:00Well I never!

I think your contrast here between philosophy journals and political theory journals doesn't quite cover the whole terrain, however.<BR/><BR/>There are general philosophy journals (Phil Quarterly, Philosophy, etc); general politics journals (American Political Science Review, Political Studies, etc); then specialist journals in the broad moral/political theory/philosophy area (Ethics, P&PA, JPP, etc).<BR/><BR/>Generally speaking (although I've only just finished my PhD so shouldn't be regarded as an expert on publishing), I'd prefer to publish in specialist journals, since those are largely the only ones I'd read!<BR/><BR/>If you're thinking about your job prospects, then there's some merit in the general journals, because those are the ones that people on an interview panel may be more familiar with if they're not in your area. Of course, this raises the question of whether you're likely to apply for jobs in politics or philosophy. If in doubt, I'd say go for philosophy journals, as politics depts seem more willing to hire political philosophers than philosophy depts to hire political theorists.<BR/><BR/>I think either politics or philosophy depts should be equally happy with publications in specialist journals like P&PA, JPP, etc though. You can hardly say that either of those are political theory rather than philosophy.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05855493092944795699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359267200410636424.post-70600127070361381732008-08-04T06:14:00.000+01:002008-08-04T06:14:00.000+01:00Hi Megan, I am a researcher-blogger from India.
