Oxford colloquium

Now recovering from summer break, which included our exciting weekend colloquium at the Rothermere American Institute at Oxford (with excellent hospitality courtesy of Paul Giles). We got a chance to speak about our take on translation and language in American studies, which was fun. But more fun was the opportunity to get to know more Americanists interested in international practice and subject matter. We were our usual gadfly selves, asking questions about geography and hemispheres and the power relations that exist in the discipline. Are we closet Platonists? Stay tuned!
