OzWallace 2017 - Day 3

Two different Skype sessions from across the oceans today. Great to hear from the International David Foster Wallace Society Diversity team and the president and vice-president of the society -  there is so much to come from everyone. I can't wait until the journal appears!

I'm tweeting with the #ozwallace hashtag if you're keen to follow along.

OzWallace 2017 - Day 2

Huge day today. David Hering's keynote and Lucas Thompson's plenary as well so many thoughtful papers that have teased out, and connected with, themes of neo-liberalism, embodiment and disembodiment, connection, suffering, and salvation in Wallace's work. Everything feels connected. I'm reeling.

I'm tweeting with the #ozwallace hashtag if you're keen to follow along.

If you haven't been checking regularly, it's worth following the posts by The International David Foster Wallace Society's Diversity Team.

The most recent post is a list of scholarly pieces by women about DFW - some great stuff in this list!

Also worth having a look at is Nina Berman's, In Response to “One Woman, Who Loves DFW, Talks”.
