Re: [Air-L] Three positions in Comm School at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Hi all Catching up on mail so belatedly reposting the following response to a similar ad from CITASA. cheers Mathieu =-=-=-= Alas I don't believe these jobs will be good for many people on this list. Unfortunately NTU, and Singapore, has a bad reputation for academic freedoms. Very recently the president of the country overturned a tenure decision involving one of our colleagues, Dr. Cherian George (phd Stanford), and neither his department nor his university were able to stand by him. I was one of his external reviewers and got drawn into the campaign to have the university and government respect the usual system of peer assessment. http://techpresident.com/news/23575/op-ed-singapore-doesnt-always-need-inter... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christian-sandvig/internet-freedom-prof-den_b_... http://blogs.wsj.com/indonesiarealtime/2013/03/01/singapore-professor-denied... If you study communication, technology, journalism, media, or have domains of inquiry that are culturally, politically, or economically sensitive, this is probably not a good place for you. Singapore as a country may open up in time, but you probably don't want to be the next test case for academic freedom! It is a bit early, and a bit risky, to invest your academic career in Singapore. p. Dr. Philip N.
