Hello all:
Whew! What a fantastic conference! Once again we want to thank you for all of the energetic, erudite and ______(what's another e-word? ah, you fill it in yourself, I'm beat) discussions this past weekend!
A couple of things: as I stated in the beginning of the conference, we wanted this weekend to only be the beginning of hopefully many more conversations. One will be the collection that we would like to put together. More details will follow but just remember, we are looking for complete essays by September 1st, 2010. Please e-mail me at jlennon@stfranciscollege.edu for any questions and details. But hopefully other collaborations will continue and please keep us updated on your work!
We would like to have some feedback on the conference from you. Please take a few minutes just to write up your thoughts on the conference and place them below. If you liked the tour, please let us know what specifically you like about it. If you wished the panels were over two days, let us know. Also, if you have any ideas for improvement (we would like to do other conferences (rock music? the 60s? pop art?) in the coming years) we would like to hear any thoughts of making the conference a more pleasurable and productive space and time.
Take care!
John
