Oh, boy oh boy oh boy!! I was really hoping that Inkshed would be in the
middle of the country next year, and this is even better than I had hoped!
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there!
All these themes sound great, Roger. I think the Alternative Discourses and
Disciplinary Codes idea could incorporate the others, particularly if you
added language that broadened the scope of discussion to include competing
discourses within disiplines, or discourses that disrupt disciplines (which
is what I think the podcasts and wikis and so forth do). (And of course,
some flavor of that is what I'm going to talk about, no matter what you come
up with for a program proposal . . . )
