Congrats!

 

Why is it signed "Scott Hockley"?

 

Because that's my name?

 

Or at least, part of it.

 

David Scott Iun Rohhann Robert Jastallis Teleka Hockley is something of a mouthful, no?

Fair enough.

 

Iun, is that really your name? That has to be the longest name I've ever known!

 

May I introduce you to Mian Allah Rassi Mohammed Din Muzhar Jamal Rasool Babur. (You know him better as Fierce_LiNk)

Just finished reading it, very well written, but I won't pretend it's not over my head!

 

How did you end up writing this piece? Were you approached, or did you just submit it to the site?

 

I hit up the site. There's no chance of being approached unless you've already been recognized, then the chances are still slim because the pay is so poor. Most academics publish in quarterly journals these days, I'd love to get into one of those, there's a mint to be made in residual publishing dues as well as the posterity value.

 

Hell, for the last essay I wrote I was reading guys who were publishing more than thirty years ago and they are still relevant today...how cool is that?

 

Iun, is that really your name? That has to be the longest name I've ever known!

 

Anyway, congratulations! :D

 

Yep, that's me. Native American side of the family to blame.

Thanks for the well-wishes, guys!

 

I'm now working on a piece about Chinese "neo-colonialism" in Africa, as well as their decision to meet the man allegedly responsible for the genocide in Darfur.

Wait, you mean people pay you to write journal articles? Clearly your field is very different to mine... :heh:

 

Anyway, congrats on getting published!

Getting Away with Murder in China

 

This article was picked up by CDT http://www.chinadigitaltimes.net, a prominent pro-democracy movement in the US written by exiled Chinese. They have a lot of links with the NYT and the WSJ, so that was a massive boost. I was sitting there at breakfast yesterday casually reading the site when I thought "...hang on a second... I recognise that writing.... That was me!" I didn't even know the editor had accepted it.

 

China's Halting Response to Libya

 

This one was actually two articles that the editor ripped to shreds and re-pasted. I'm not proud of the finished product, but it's more exposure.
