[Air-L] Fwd: 22.186 Academia.edu: 'tree' of academics launches

[Anders Sundnes Løvlie]

Interesting. But for a project with global ambitions, it seems a little
eschewed towards English language. E.g. in the "research interests"
section there are two categories for literature studies: "English
literature" and "World literatures"... Neither does it handle non-English
characters well. My new, easy-to-remember homepage url:
