Great question, n'est pas? I'm in Rochester, just 90 minutes or so from the Canadian border and brrr(!), it's cold outside! In two days, we leap into March from a fairly frigid February--so let me take this opportunity to remind everyone to check out the CFP for Juliet Emmanuel's BMCC conference, April 11-12, 2008 in glorious Manhattan at our sister-site: www.nycea.org as well as the H-net and UPenn listservs. The deadline approaches for proposals. Please plan on sending something to Juliet.
I'd like to wish our CEA colleagues the best of luck with their upcoming March conference, Joe Pestino and Charles Ernst, as well as any other NYCEA-member representatives who may be attending.
I also wanted to point out that there have been updates to the "Graduate Student Prize" and "Editorials, Essays & More" pages. You'll find fall 2007 Graduate Student Prize winner, Mary Foltz's contribution, as well as Honorable Mention, Kara Manning's piece under "Editorials..." following Dr. Howard Wolf's key-note speech from the Daemen 2007 conference.
Speaking of Dr. Howard Wolf, I'd like to give a shout-out for his latest work, FARAWAY PLACES. It's a beautiful blend of experience articulated in eloquent poetic prose that take the reader on a literal adventure of a lifetime, spanning Hong Kong, the middle East, England, and more. A wealth of knowledge is within this gem of a read.
We have a conference opening (again!) for fall 2010--if there is any kinder colleague in western or upstate New York willing to lend us your institution, college, or university for a night and a full day beginning on a Friday in October 2010, please contact me as soon as possible. Thank you.
I hope you are all well and wish each of you the very best for March, movig strongly, boldly, toward a much-missed springtime.
Until April, my friends--au revoir!
