<DIV dir=ltr>Sorry to speak about you in third person, Steve, but . . . :)</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>I love the idea of Steve serving as respondent on this panel, especially given that his book will likely be out by CCCC 2012 and the panel speaker lineup is so impressive. I think this would really enrich an already quite rich discussion on "What's New in BW?" </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>If he's willing . . . </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Steve's published widely in our field's top journals, but this is his first book and he's going up for tenure this year so it seems qualifies that "new" category in some fresh ways too. And this: I'm sure he'll sail through that tenure process given his publication, teaching, and service records, but I can't imagine adding "respondent" on Featured Panel like this could hurt his case. :)</DIV>

We have a broad theory+history<BR>framework from Bruce Horner, then the excellent practices of ALP from<BR>Peter Adams, and then our open-call invitation to new voices in BW. I<BR>think this will be a very stimulating and productive workshop.<BR><BR>The one detail that came up in the EB meeting is that several<BR>individuals thought we had, possibly, too many voices, without enough<BR>time for reflection and discussion, in the open-call conference section,<BR>so we may want to adjust the length of the talks and the q+a in that<BR>last segment.
