Conference Update

posted by [personal profile] owlfish at 11:06am on 03/04/2008 under
  • Contrary to what the Medieval Academy of America (MAA) program book says, I am not presenting at the MAA this weekend in Vancouver. Last I heard, several weeks ago, they were looking for a replacement paper for mine.

  • I will be presenting at the Three Societies Meeting in Oxford in July. This is the only conference I'm committed to at this point for this year.

  • I will not be at K'zoo this year, although I co-organized a session for it. It's the third in our "Weblogs and the Academy" series of sessions, this time with papers instead of a roundtable (co-organized with Elisabeth Carnell). It's on Saturday at 3:30, session 511, and is entitled "Weblogs and the Academy: Professional and Community Outreach through Internet Presence". You should all attend it, if you'll be at the conference. (I'm treasuring a hope that I can get copies of the papers from the presenters.)

  • I am looking for more prospective papers for next year's Medieval Congress at Kalamazoo on behalf of AVISTA. I am organizing a group of sessions on "Book Technology". In the near future, I'll post a more formal description of this, but do please contact me if you're at all interested and work on related material.

Are you not going to K'zoo this year, then?

Correct. I will not be at K'zoo this year. (Nor Leeds, for that matter.) I will be at K'zoo next year, however, presuming the Book Tech sessions go through.

I've edited this into the main body of the post since it's worth advertising the session I co-organized while I'm on the subject of conferences!

Ah - was just going to comment asking about Leeds. I can see how the theme this year wouldn't be of enormous relevance to you (or me, for that matter).

It's not even a theme issue, so much as a financial one. We're (hopefully) buying something very, very expensive this year - the house - and so saving money for that. Conferences are expensive, and my current job doesn't pay for them.

I may make it up to Leeds the week of the conference for a day or two to meet up with friends in town for it, and go to my favorite Leeds restaurant - presuming that's not the week we move. I'll keep you posted.

Ah, of course.

Yes, if you are in Leeds anyway, do let me know. In fact, assuming that I am here, I would be quite happy for you to use my house as a place to stay while you're in town if you like. I have a spare room after all, the middle of the summer is unlikely to be particularly busy or stressful, and having guests round is always fun.

I wish I could attend, but alas, I'll be presending my own paper at the same time...;)

I'd forgive you. I'm rather counting on being able to hang out with the people who were going to be my MAA co-presenters. They're still going.

Alas.

If you have any interesting questions you'd like me to toss in there, as presider, do tell - k?

Yes - I'm hoping to whack it into shape over the next couple of weeks and will send you a copy. It's going to be pretty short.

I should have a paper on Book Technology ready by then. I planned to go to the 'Zoo next year anyways. It may be a bit tricky if I am off on a research project, though.
