Medieval History
K'zoo
I'm off to Kalamazoo tomorrow morning (I'm dragging the whole family along so it is an abbreviated K'zoo outing). I will be there for Friday evening festivities, and the all of Saturday and Sunday (my busiest day is Sunday when I am presiding over a panel I organized--my first, on Teaching the Mystics--and presenting in the last time slot! on Margery Kempe and space. I look forward to meeting up with friends and making new ones! and....hearing some inspirational and thoughtful work (I am the only medievalist on my campus so K'zoo is my medieval fix for a whole year).
See you there!
