Quotation of the Day for December 3, 2013



"The academic job market is structured in many respects like a drug gang, with an expanding mass of outsiders and a shrinking core of insiders. Even if the probability that you might get shot in academia is relatively small (unless you mark student papers very harshly), one can observe similar dynamics."

- Alexandre Afonso, lecturer in political economy at King's College London, in the post "How Academia Resembles a Drug Gang".
