Welcome, esteemed colleague, to the most esteemed and most dubious of all the committees on the campus of University of Sockoria. Our Chair, Dr. Emily P. Sockington, has decreed that you are now an Assistant Professor of Sock Theory, a field of study so esoteric it's been banned from Google Scholar.
As Assistant Professor, you are tasked with the daunting duty of unraveling the tangled threads of sock fate. You will spend your days poring over the intricacies of sock elasticity, studying the ancient tomes of Sockularian scripture, and attending the most grueling sock-themed seminars in the land.
We recommend that you begin your research by reading the classic treatise, Sockception: The Sock Theory of Everything. May it guide you on your perilous journey into the heart of Sockoria.
The Sock Theory Colloquium will be hosting a series of lectures on Sockception, the Sock Theory of Everything. Join us on the 15th of Sockruary for the most riveting discussion on the subject. More info or Sockception Reading Group to get a head start.
