"It's the only conference I go to where the most respected of senior scholars and the greenest of grad students are listened to with equal respect." Hi all, As one of those green grad students I would like to second that comment. It is nice to see a community that is open to ideas and not just titles. Kudos to the conference, its organizers, and the community members. -Gordon Carlson -University of Illinois at Chicago On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 1:26 PM, Nancy Baym <nbaym@ku.edu> wrote:
Let me thank again the people in Copenhagen (most especially Lisbeth Klastrup, Gitte Stald, Thomas Jeppesen, Klaus Bruhn Jensen, Stine Gotved and the many volunteers) as well as Brian Loader and all the reviewers for their hard work making the conference such a success.
When Jeremy Hunsinger and I organized the first conference in Kansas in 2000, it was only in our wildest dreams that we imagined its becoming what it has. I am continuously awed by the internationalism, interdisciplinarity, open minds and friendliness amongst scholars that characterizes our meetings. It's the only conference I go to where the most respected of senior scholars and the greenest of grad students are listened to with equal respect.
Plus, on a purely personal level, I think we've got the coolest, best looking and easily the best-dressed academic community out there.
Thanks to those who made it happen and everyone who came. See you in Milwaukee where we can all honor the coolness that is AoIR with a field trip to the statue of The Fonz.
