work, work, work!


I returned home to New York City on Saturday evening after a great weekend in New Mexico at the American Studies Association Conference. I'm too tired to provide a line-by-line of who all was there and what all happened, but I will just say that it was a wonderful experience.


I took yesterday "off" (i.e. I lounged around my Brooklyn apartment all day, doing absolutely nothing), but now I'm back to work. My next travel excursion will be to Los Angeles on November 14th, 2008, where I will be participating in a special one day Faculty/Graduate Student Symposium on "Race, Violence, and Gender" at the University of Southern California, sponsored by the Department of American Studies and Ethnicity, and moderated by Joy A. James and Andrea Smith. I need to take the rest of the week to finish writing that paper. I'm also working on a co-authored journal article with my colleague Marlon M. Bailey that is way overdue. On top of all of this, I have a shit-load of Dissertation Year Fellowship deadlines that are very quickly approaching (shout-out to my brilliant co-conspirator Marques Redd for keeping me on top of this!)


Tomorrow is my mother's birthday, so I will be taking some time off, returning to New Jersey to spend some time with my little brother and step-dad.


More soon,
Frankie

Are you going to spend the weekend of the 14th here in Los Angeles? If so, let a brotha know!
