A different kind of university
The prefaces to Nicholas Lash’s book on Marx, A Matter of Hope, and to Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble, both mention that lectures given at my own dear institution were part of those books’ origins. I’m wondering, though, if this isn’t actually an editorial prank, as the idea of Notre Dame inviting public lectures on Marxism or gender theory just seems too far-fetched.

Well, isn’t Terry Eagleton visiting professor? You’ll have to get him drunk at some point during his stay.
True, he is! And I remain astonished at that fact. I really look forward to meeting him, though, and to at least sitting in on one of his seminars. Getting him drunk would be, obviously, better.
