I want to thank Jim for the introduction, and extend my gratitude to all the Blogora collaborators for having me. I look forward to blogging about my experiences in Ithaca and in the SCT, and hope our readers find some use in my comments.

For what it's worth: From what I can tell, I'm the only rhetorician here. Interesting place to start thinking about how my work and the work of other scholars of rhetoric fit into the body of scholarship represented by the SCT faculty and students ....

i've been hoping for and waiting for and hinting for this kind of conference correspondent to The Blogora for awhile. liveblogging doesn't seem to fit well with academic conferences -- or something: but this is Just Rite. thanks. glad a good idea came from several origins to collaborative fruition.
