I realize it has been quite a bit since I’ve blogged. The reason is part post-hurricane life, part pre-NCA life. I’ve always said that October & early November make up the busiest time of my year … and this year was no different.
I am presenting 5 papers at the National Communication Association conference in Boston in 10 days. I have two papers on “top papers” panels, a piece from my disseration, and then two pieces about the convention blog posts that were accepted as panel proposals. That means I have spent the last month or so writing those two papers from the panels. I’ll post the abstracts separately with some break-out findings over the next few days.
Additionally, I was making changes to a few papers that were recently accepted at journals.
Here is my overall presentation schedule (all blog related) for NCA. If you’re going to be there too, stop by one of my sessions
