RFP: The ALOTT5MA Management has been thrilled with Professor Jeff's series of lectures on the history of popular culture in the United States, based off the college course he's now teaching, and we'd like to keep the party going (so to speak).

We are blessed at this site with a group of regular readers and commenters with deep and interesting knowledge bases, from whom we all learn a lot every day. But as we've seen with Jeff, we can always go deeper, so here's the deal: if you're interested, go ahead and conceive of an online "lecture series" that you'd like to do this winter for the blog, on any topic bearing some relationship to what our community seems to appreciate. (And you need not be a Professor to apply -- anyone can offer a proposal.)

Figure out how you'd like to structure it -- anything from four long posts in one week to 1-2 posts/week over the course of a few months, whatever works for you -- and if one occurs to you, draw up an outline. And then shoot us an email at throwingthingsblog -at- hotmail dot com and share your ideas. We'll mull them over and see what we can do. No rush -- this is a rolling process. We are looking forward to reading what you have to say.
