I just learned that Richard Rorty, the philosopher, died last Friday while I was presenting at AERC 2007. HIs obituary is here and an informative piece about him can be found here. For a contemporary philosopher with continental and pragmatic leanings, he will be missed.

I isolated the data I collected from the AERC2007 conference by giving all entries a similar category–Liveblogging AERC2007. Click the link, and you will be brought to all the entries done in real time while at the conference. Another way of accessing the same information is to select the "Liveblogging AERC2007" category listed under "Categories."

As the purpose of this research was to type and post my direct experiences while attending paper presentations and other parts of the academic conference, the notes and thoughts are unedited and seemingly arranged in a flow-of-consciousness. I hope to bring meaning to this through the research project itself.

Now that this can be more readily found, off to begin preparing for the data analysis.
