post conference

It's hard to settle down after AERA - was it the papers, meeting up with people, or just the thrill of being in San Franciso? What a conference!

My memorable moments? one has to be attending the annual meeting of the writing SIG and hearng Shirley Brice Heath. Another has to be the session - Research in the public interest: Scholars as Public Intellectuals. Another - a paper by Barbara Kamler and Pat Thompson, Doctoral writing: Pedagogies for work with literature.

My post conference mode has tackled early morning wake-ups, thinking about leads that could result in papers, and coping with post-SF cold symptoms. Despite the latter I am energised.
