We’re pleased to have Corey Robin join our slightly expanded editorial board.

Corey teaches political science at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center. He’s the author of The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Sarah Palin and Fear: The History of a Political Idea. His articles have appeared in the New York Times, Harper’s, the London Review of Books, and elsewhere. His blog has won the “Charm Quark” award (otherwise known as third prize) for “best writing in politics and social science” from 3 Quarks Daily and a Cliopatra Award for “Best Writer.”

Or so he claims. I just copied and pasted that from his website. In truth, we’re only tapping him, because John Podhoretz stopped responding to my text messages.
