Collaboration

One of my biggest regrets is that I have not collaborated on an article. I can't say that I am committed to collaboration, because the fact I haven't done it means that I am not yet committed to it (yet). The barrier is a lack of imagination, I guess. I would have to come up with the right combination of a project and a collaborator. I would not tolerate an unequal collaboration, or one in which I did the intellectual lifting and someone else did the grunt work.

Let me know when it comes out. It's something I can recommend to my students.
