Upcoming Travel

Confirmed and ticketed:

  • August 10-15—Montréal; American Sociological Association.*
  • September 28-October 6—Paris and Vienna; BlogTalk Reloaded.**
  • October 26-29—Austin; Flow.

Tentative:

  • August 18-23ish—New York (if meeting is scheduled).
  • October 20-22—Portland; NITLE symposium on learning management systems at liberal arts colleges (if proposal is accepted).

Almost certain, but too early to make plans:

  • December 18-25ish—Baton Rouge.
  • December 26-29—Philadelphia, MLA.
  • December 29-January somethingth—Paris.  (Yippee!)

*No, I haven’t changed fields; I’m on a joint search committee doing preliminary interviews there.

**The Paris part of the journey is both for fun and for economy, believe it or not.  A roundtrip ticket from SoCal to Vienna is currently in the $1300 vicinity, and requires me to fly in and out of LAX, which adds another 3 hours to the journey, and is without question the worst part of the trip.  I managed, instead, to get a roundtrip ticket on Continental from ONT to CDG for $1000 (still more than I’d like to have spent, but it has good travel times and is, alas, pretty much the going rate) and a roundtrip ticket on Air France from CDG to VIE for $175.  And all the better, I save some money on hotels, and get to hang out with my pal Marcus!

    We just got back from three days in Montreal.  It was wonderful - let me know if you want some ideas about restaurants, etc.

    I’ll be in Philly in December as well.  If I have any interviews, I’ll probably be at the bar drinking for courage; otherwise, I’ll be at the bar drinking in sorrow.  Either way, I hope we cross paths at some point.

    Let’s make a point of it, E.  Interviews or no interviews, MLA and cocktails are a necessary combo.

    Excellent–I’ll have at least one pleasant, friendly encounter to look forward to at the MLA.
