ANZASA

Well, visiting New Zealand for the first time was really spectacular. Pretty much all the Kiwis we met were friendly, down-to-earth, and glad to help jet-lagged visitors. The ANZASA conference organizers were incredibly welcoming and our fellow attendees were super-engaged and interested in discussing American studies both in terms of loads of interesting research topics and also in terms of located academic practice!

We had a great audience for our talk and our workshop the next day. The text of talk will be part of a longer essay that we will be revising in the next couple of weeks, but we want to make our workshop materials available here for participants to see in advance or afterwards if you want another look. This is the workshop description and set of quotations we used in the ANZASA workshop, a similar version of which we are planning to use at ASA in Atlanta for scheduled for November 12, 2004.
