Hi Doug, I've been trying to e-mail Barara, but the message keeps coming back as "undeliverable." I thought I'd try sending you the message to pass on to her. Thanks a lot. Graham --------------------- Hi Barbara, Good to hear from you! You were wondering about the genre conference in Oslo--yes, I'll be going to it. To be really honest, if I can only go to one Canadian conference a year, it'll be CATTW every time. I find their conference much more useful than Inkshed, given my own particular area of research and teaching. So I haven't been to Inkshed for a number of years (though I still enjoy reading the newsletter). You'd be more than welcome to come up to Lafayette and visit Purdue when you're in Indianapolis in April. There isn't really a forum right now for giving formal lunch-hour talks, but I could try to arrange an informal get-together with some of my own students as well as other grad students in the department. What would be the topic that you'd want to talk on? I know that Purdue's Communication Department has a great organizational communication group. I've been trying to create some links to them, I but haven't succeeded so far. I e-mailed the head of the department a while back, and left a voice message, but haven't heard anything back. I'll just have to keep trying.
