Well, my favorite such title is from an anthropology book I was assinged in college: Political Systems of Highland Burma.

The canonical Boring Title . . . is the think piece entitled Whither Canada?

I’ll do you one better: New Directions in Canadian Prairie Writing.

None of you guys have anything on the economists. Just a couple of titles from the past couple of months’ working paper series:

Epistemology, Normative Theory and Poverty Analysis

Does Conditionality Generate Heterogeneity and Regressivity in Program Impacts?

These are actually pretty good compared to what you can find over the past few years

How about: “The neodialectic paradigm of discourse and the subtextual paradigm of expression”

Anything else from the Postmodern Generator will do too.

Now I need to think up something about Galileo. Or the Bogdanov affair.

Perish and Publish: The Likely Effects of the Coming Global Genocide on Tenure and Promotion

I’d be on board with this one too, but only if there was an appendix dealing with faculty governance issues.

It doesn’t actually fit, but I have to record the fact that I once saw and article entitled:

Is the Death Penalty Truly Irrevocable?

“A grundnorm-expressivistic account of constitutional discourse: reconciling Kelsen, Gibbard, and Dworkin.”

Oh, crap. Now I actually want to write an article on it.

I once sat in a half-day seminar at the Bank of England on the subject of how many significant digits banks should calculate EMU exchange rates to and how they should minimise rounding error in conversion to the euro. It was fascinating beyond belief.
