Conference season comes around every spring for many of us academics (it also comes around in fall and winter – really, it just never stops, but nevermind that). The season is much like camp – it’s a chance to see old friends, meet new people, eat, drink, and be merry. In addition, conference season gives academics a chance to share their research, field interesting (and sometimes tough) questions, engage in a lot of (hopefully) fascinating discussions, and support/challenge/question/persuade colleagues from around the world. Although the season is a busy one, it’s also extremely energizing.
Needless to say, it’s currently conference season and I’m kind of all over the place this week. I need a few days off from the blog and I hope you don’t mind! If you need a little White Cabana in your lives during this mini-break, please catch me on Instagram or Twitter! Thanks for understanding!
