<p>My experience has been very different from LazyAsian’s–both my IHUMs have been very well-taught, both by the profs and the postdocs in section (and I think I have rather high standards). I think SLE sounds great, though, and I do expect that there will be more offerings of that kind coming from the Humanities department in the near future. Also, we’ve discussed this point on this forum before, but I really don’t think there is any serious negative stereotyping of SLE people here–it is tongue-in-cheek, friendly ribbing about the relative insularity of the program.</p>
