So part of my Day 2 excitement was meeting with a profesor. His name is Stephen Wilmer (writing is under S.E. Wilmer) and he is from the US originally. Alma Martinez connected me with him when I applied for the Fulbright. So I met with him yesterday to discuss the program and to help me understand what I needed to do in preparation.
In less than TEN minutes, I had already agreed to assist on a conferene he is hosting at Trinity on October 6 and 7. (http://www.tcd.ie/Drama/#newsArticle1) It's all on Antigone. An international panel of theorists from a variety of fields will present on papers s/he have written. So I am now assisting Gabry, an M.Phil. student from last year who is starting the PhD program this fall. She will be back on Sept. 11 and I think we'll kick things into gear at that point.
Fun stuff if anyone wants to take a little trip and hear some incredibly intelligent discussions on Antigone... I'll be there!
