Just back from ALISE in Denver, where Susan Burke and I had the pleasure of meeting and moderating the panels for our two Research SIG sessions. Really, really happy with what was presented… happy enough that we’ve volunteered to be the Research SIG co-conveners for ALISE in Boston next year. Thanks to all our wonderful panelists from UT-Austin, UNC-Chapel Hill, Drexel, Emporia, North Carolina Central, and University of Washington!

Also talked to a number of folks about the opening we have on our faculty here in Oklahoma. Note to self: you know that you’ve really moved to the other side of the professorial fence when the first thing that you think of when you hear someone describe their fascinating dissertation topic is not “Cool— I wish I’d thought of that!” but, rather, “Ah— that person would be a great way to increase our strengths as a faculty!”
