Despite some last minute scheduling issues due to a late cancellation, the symposium Toni and I put together for our program, The Annex Interjects, was held last Friday. I am so proud of our colleagues in the MA English program, who put on some pretty spectacular presentations. The undergraduate presentations prove that the MA program, if they choose to join it, has a very bright future.

I am not sure if I will be involved with the planning for the fall symposium, but I am looking forward to it. Tentatively, it is going to be called Literature Matters!.

I need to especially thank Toni for collaborating in the planning of both symposiums this academic year. Without her help, guidance, and passion for literature these events would never have happened. A big thanks also goes out to the students in our program, both those who attended and presented. Their appreciation and desire for these kind of events is what made us want to create them in the first place.

I will have the notes from Toni & I’s presentation, What Is A Text? A Political History Of Texts From Gutenberg To Electronic Literature & Beyond, online in a few days. I am hoping to incorporate some of our collaborative work into my MA thesis. My own notes from other’s presentations will also be uploaded as well.
