This week is the week of conferences. Today, it's Brighton for the Digital Methods, Cultural Politics and Feminist Approaches conference. Then tomorrow I fly out to San Diego to present on Wednesday morning at the contemporary women's writing network annual conference. In the process I will be travelling internationally on my own for the first time, which as a nervous flyer is more than a bit daunting. On the other hand, I will be presenting my first conference paper & hopefully expanding my network of academic contacts for my nascent career. Not too much pressure for the week then!
So one hour in to the first day of the week of conferences and I already have so many new things to think about. Adi Kuntsman just gave the first keynote of the day on 'Politics of/in digital cultures: lessons from feminist and queer theory'. It was a really rich, interesting, complex talk, which I am going to get so much out of reflecting on.
Thus far, it's a really good start to the week.
