The politics of research reading was very long and wordy. The language was very scholarly which required me to put on a different type of hat of thought towards this subject. The article was clearly written to inform and not to entertain and that bled out through its monotone uninteresting content. It did explain that in universities money is unevenly distributed in the fields of research, that is information that was new to me. It explained that engineering and technology received large amounts of support while subjects such as creative thinking and philosophy weren’t given that type of funding. This was perplexing to me because you can’t even have breakthroughs in these heavily scientific fields such as technology without people thinking creatively and outside of the box. Overall an average reading.
