Okay, so apparently after I write an analytical Renaissance video game in place of a dissertation, I am destined to become an untenured Professor of "Water" who teaches via podcast at the Universities of Glasgow, Miami, and the Moon... while Mark Taylor's NYT op-ed does point out some of the major problems with academia and I do agree with some of his suggestions, I'm pretty sure that shunting expertise in favor of impossibly amorphous zones of inquiry will not solve anything...
Other discussions on trouble in the ivory tower can be found here, here, and if you're particularly adventurous, here!
