Yes, that's right, next year's Inkshed will be held in London. As soon as we can get the organizing committee together, we'll work on selecting a theme. At the AGM the following ideas for a theme were proposed:
Alternative Discourses and Disciplinary Codes: Cataloguing, Challenging, and Reflecting on Writing and Reading Practices Across the Disciplines
Student Writers as Digital Natives: The role of Mash-ups, Podcasts, Wikis and other technologies for Reading and Writing Students in the Middle: Teaching Reading and Writing to Transitional Students If you have a comment on these ideas or a refinement to offer, please send it to the list or to me ([log in to unmask]). If you have another idea, please send that along, too.

(on behalf of the organizing committee)

> Good morning Inkshedders,

> I'm happy to report that after the conference, we now have a
> total of 32 paid up members. As there were about sixteen before
> the conference, I must assume there are a few more cheques in
> the mail. If not, please accept this reminder that conference
> participation is restricted to Inkshed members and send those
> dues in. At last year's AGM, there were strong statements about
> the value of membership and suggestions that it was cheap at the
> price. We need the memberships to demonstrate our commitment to
> the involvement of graduate students in the conference through
> subsidies and to do the general business of Inkshed.
>
> There are also many more Inkshedders out there who enjoy this
> discussion list and the newsletters. Please send in your
> memberships (40.00 Regular, $20.00 student or un(der)employed)
> made out to "Inkshed at NSCAD".
