Here are my (still very tentative) plans for the next year and a half--my sabbatical year.
Since I have received the Center for the Humanities Faculty Fellowship, I will be on a year-long leave from June 2007 to August 2008. In general, I won't be available to anyone except those who are collaborating with me on a research project or whose dissertations I am chairing.
I will still be available for talks and consulting, but no more than usual because I will need to work on my writing projects.
In June, I will be traveling to various parts of Asia--Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, Kobe, and possibly Beijing. From July through the end of September, I will be in Japan in preparation for the Symposium in mid-September. I will likely be a visiting researcher at a university in Japan--assuming that everything goes as planned.
I will be back in the States for the UNH Conference in October and NCTE in November. For the rest of the year, I will be working on my research and writing projects. I will, of course, attend a few conferences in Spring 2008.
AILA will be in late August, possibly during the first week of school. But it'll be in Essen, Germany. How could I possibly miss it?
Some of these plans are still very tentative because a few big pieces are missing. Not knowing exactly where I will be or what I will be doing is both exciting and unsettling at the same time.
