Two good things

Yesterday, I received page proofs for an article I wrote 3-4 years ago (but which saw its first incarnation as a paper at a conference five years ago in--believe it or not--Decatur, IL). Thank the gods, I thought. It's finally going to see the light of day. (I'm sure the editors of the book, too, are thanking the gods.) And as I was proofreading it, I discovered that I had in fact mentioned (though not cited) John Dewey. So there you go. I *did* make use of Dewey. In some fashion.

And today, in my inbox: an invitation to Cs. I'll be talking about argument hope, something I blogged about last spring.

So it all comes around. (Or something equally wise and ponderous.) Congrats to those who've also been invited. See you in New York.

Sweet!! I'm anxious to see what you're doing/have done with Dewey.

Oh, and congrats. (Guess i should have checked Why Not Blog? before the email...)

Don't get too excited. Notice that I said I mention but do not cite John Dewey. In other words, his name is evoked. That's all. So I was really kind of making a little joke there. Heh.

But the article is about literacy and performance (really, about literacy and affect), so it might interest you, even if it doesn't really have anything to say about Dewey.
