Recent Work
It’s been a busy summer and the fall already promises to be the busiest semester yet. Lots of projects in the works . . . Lots to still do on each of them, which will have to be put on hold this Fall semester. I hope to give an update on the Digital Publishing Initiatives @ UMBC and related work on digital publishing, but, for now, this is what’s new or coming up:
Presentations
Work-in-Progress Discussions, The Dresher Center, UMBC
The Dresher Center is pleased to sponsor lunchtime discussions with faculty and graduate students who present their work-in-progress to colleagues. These interdisciplinary discussions are a wonderful way to meet colleagues across the campus and join discussions of multidisciplinary frameworks and methodological approaches. Thanks to the generous support of the Office of the Vice President for Research and the Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences lunch is provided.
