QI 2012 (previously QI 2011)

It's just a few days before this year's International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry. There's a much reduced group connected with Bristol going than other years, and no Jane this time round (Jane, we miss you!), so I thought I would take up the challenge, at least to make this one post.
As far as I know, the Bristol-related crew are Susan Williams (a member of the Bristol Collaborative Writing Group), Ken Gale and me, Artemi Sakellariadis (who was the other BCWG member coming) sadly having to stay home at the last minute .

Ken and I are in Chicago, warming up to the conference, as one has to do, staying in the sumptuous Travelodge downtown. We're soon to be joined by four others, Teija Loytonen and Hanna Guttorm from Finland, Gunnhildur Una Jonsdottir from Iceland (all of whom are with us in a writing group that's been working with - funnily enough - Deleuze) and Becky Turner, a colleague of Ken's from Plymouth. We're meeting Susan and others at Urbana-Champaign on Wednesday.

The final program isn't published yet (only three days to go, no rush) so back with news of that in due course... (which kind of obligates me to write again, doesn't it?)

And I haven't yet got the hang of photos. All in good time. Imagine one here:








Chicago is stunning, isn't it?

Right, a walk along S Wabash in the sunshine to breakfast.
