I'm not talking about how a Professor dresses day-to-day. Geeeeeeeesh. I'm talking about their professional bio on a professional homepage. The very first look someone most likely will get of them. Red necks wear plaid on that picture. Just sayin'...


Well I just went to Harvard's history page and saw these professors looking unprofessional:

http://www.courses.fas.harvard.edu/~his ... .cgi?id=55
http://www.courses.fas.harvard.edu/~his ... .cgi?id=59

Does the pic really matter? There's also photos of people in suits and giving speechs and one of a woman on a boat holding a bucket. The photo is throwaway in my opinion. What can they teach and are they accurate and honest is most important to me.[/b]

I agree. I think they look very unprofessional. What they don't look like is red necky, though. Notice the absence of plaid...

DCP a redneck? Laughable.

LOL. Well my definition of redneckedness probably has more to do with a general sense of backwardness and lack of desire to even look at new information or to change perception. Fashion goes along with that sometime and sometimes not. A redneck can be a great scholar and a roughneck ditch digger can not be a redneck, all depends on how they think.

I may have to offer an apology. I just found this:

Why, he looks positively cultured.

He certainly looks deep in thought.

This guy looks professional. He was the first one I clicked on at Washington State University. He a Latin Studies Professor.

Here is Dr. Sergio La Porta's (of Hebrew University of Jerusalem) photo. Surely, he is a redneck (open collar, tight plaid pattern).

Yes, you are indeed onto something here… then again, maybe that's really gingham and not plaid.

Yes. In all likelihood, he's seething with anger at having read one of my old blog entries. Then, deciding it would be best to wallow in his sense of victimhood, he makes up his mind to change his avatar. Now, instead of being the Krispy Kreme King, he is Peterson the Hutt.

I'm certain his avatar choice is actually selected by a committee of devoted mopologists.
