Clark Ashton Smith was one of top writers of fantasy and "weird tales" as well as some science fiction in the early 20th century. He was also part of the "Lovecraft Circle," corresponding regularly with the other titans of the genre. I was delighted to be a guest on the STRANGE SHADOWS podcast from the Innsmouth Gold network to discuss his short story "The Immortals of Mercury."

My latest article of my CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION column, "Administration 101." I'm starting a new series on "The Age of Administrator Anxiety in Academia." This one focuses on "Mentoring in an Age of Administrator Anxiety." It's about trying to redefine and rediscover what it means to have a mentor and be a mentor.

My latest essay in the Chronicle of Higher Education. This seems to be an especially tough time for new doctoral students -- everywhere. But there are reasons not to give up so soon. soon. #highereducation #phdlife #graduateschool #doctoralstudent

BIOGRAPHY: From July 2013 to August 2023 David D. Perlmutter was dean of the College of Media & Communication (CoMC) at Texas Tech University. He received his B.A. (’85) and M.A. (’91) from the University of Pennsylvania and his Ph.D. (’96) from the University of Minnesota. He is the son of two professors and so likes to think of academia as his “family business.” Perlmutter has been described by a Chronicle of Higher Education editor as a “household name among American professors” because of the widespread readership of three decades of writings on academic careers and higher education processes for the Chronicle and other publications, including a book on promotion & tenure from Harvard University Press. His previous leadership positions include director, School of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Iowa (2009 to 2013) and twice as associate dean for graduate studies. He is currently under contract to write a book on academic strategic planning for Johns Hopkins University Press.
His administrative achievements and metrics include co-designing several Ph.D. programs and supervising both professional- and thesis-track M.A. programs, on campus, online, and at distance locations, and an innovative Fundraising & Philanthropy Communication undergraduate certificate program (at Iowa). At Texas Tech, his college has seen unprecedented growth in all metrics, including diversity, rank of admitted students, graduate and undergraduate enrollment, offsite and online offerings, retention and graduation rates, grant applications, and multidisciplinary research partnerships. The college achieved its 2025 federal sponsored research funding goals in fall 2020, rising from $45,000 when he started to over $1.6 million in fiscal year 2020. Also in 2020, the college exceeded its private-giving target. CoMC was rated the highest ranked research unit at TTU among all units, including the humanities, social sciences, and STEM, by the Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (Shanghai Index). The online master’s program that CoMC started became the fastest growing graduate program in the history of Texas Tech. The college has achieved among the highest rates of retention and lowest times to degree for undergraduate students. CoMC started unique teaching partnerships with the Rawls College of Business and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center’s School of Nursing. Perlmutter was consistently rated among the highest performing deans in the university by his faculty in the annual Faculty Senate survey ten years in a row. Perlmutter chaired the TTU search committees for successful hires of provost and three college deanships (Arts & Sciences, Libraries, Visual and Performing Arts). The college is also rated as “Top 20” for Hispanic Enrollment, which contributed to TTU’s recent attainment of HSI status.
Perlmutter is the author or editor of ten books on political communication, new media technologies, and higher education published by, among others, Palgrave, Oxford, and Harvard University Press. He also published several dozen research articles for academic journals. He was co-principal investigator for about $800,000 in grants through the Kansas Transportation Institute. At Louisiana State University, he edited a political communication book series and won two faculty awards, including the main campus-wide award for research, teaching, and service. He has been twice elected to chair the research committee of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC), one of his field’s leading professional associations.
For public engagement, Perlmutter ran several prominent programs at the Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas. He served on the board of two university book presses. He also wrote a feature on “Managing with Millennials,” dealing with generational challenges in the workplace, for a business magazine. Perlmutter has been interviewed by most major news networks and newspapers, from the New York Times to CNN and ABC, and was a featured guest on “The Daily Show.” He was a keynote speaker at varying interdisciplinary and interprofessional venues such as a New England Journal of Medicine conference on medical education of the future, a U.S. State Department tour of Europe, the annual meeting of the major association for retired and emeritus faculty, and many promotion-and-tenure workshops at other universities. He regularly speaks at industry, academic, and government meetings and runs workshops on personal and institutional branding via social media, visual persuasion, and higher education issues including fundraising. He has served as an executive coach for universities and hospitals. He has been recognized for his leadership. In 2018, Perlmutter was bestowed with the Texas Tech President’s Excellence in Gender Equity Award for advancing gender diversity, inclusion, and equity in his college. In 2017, he was elected vice president of AEJMC by the membership and served a term as president in 2019–2020. In 2021, he was the keynote speaker for the National Conference of Academic Deans.
