Friends and Colleagues,
For those interested in forwarding their research agenda, I wanted to
bring to your attention the annual Scholarly Writing Retreat being
organized this summer. The retreat is based on a few simple premises:
(1) a motivated, positive, and rigorous environment creates excellent
work; (2) peer accountability and immediate feedback encourages
productivity; and (3) scholarly work is enriched through
collaboration. The retreat includes a week of focused writing time,
structured workshops on productive writing habits, style and grammar
for professional journals, editing skills, and more. The goal is for
each participant to arrive with a work in progress and leave with a
manuscript prepared for submission. Below are the basics, but please
go to

"We are moving towards a culture that outsources the task of
remembering to machine-- to a vast and distributed prosthesis....
We have built the infrastructure that renders forgetting impossible.
As it hardens and seeps into every element of daily life, it will make
remembering impossible as well. Changing what it means to remember
changes what it means to be." -- Kevin Slavin, "The Ebb of Memory"
