Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
3/3: on the way to real
I applied for a grant to travel to London with 4 students this summer; once in London, everyone would work on their own research project and meet in a daily seminar to discuss their developing ideas. I've gotten word that my proposal has been accepted/funded, so now it's a matter of making things happen: students need to apply, rooms need to be reserved, etc. I thought about this program for quite some time, imagining its ins and outs, its benefits and challenges--now it's both happy and strange to move it from my mind to the external world.
Congratulations, RR! That's fabulous news.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sam! I'm really excited about it, and I think the students are getting excited, too, as they are putting together their project proposals. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with.
