| Abstract | In the course of the author's career, he has attended nearly 100 professional conferences hosted by about 15 different scholarly bodies, mostly in the Humanities or Social Sciences. In doing so, he have participated in or sat through as many as 1,000 paper sessions, those quaint gatherings at which grown up, well-educated adults gather to be read to, sometimes in groups of hundreds or even thousands in cavernous hotel banquet halls or, more often, in tiny clusters of ones, twos, or sevens in identical windowless session rooms with grandiose names like The Jefferson Room, The Algonquin Suite, Leucadia, Imperial I, II, III, IV, or V or, more prosaically, Conference Room G. In other words, what one learns from attending the conference, one's growth, professional development or inspiration, is of insufficient value to warrant support from The Dean's Office. It all comes down to those 15 to 20 minutes when you're in front of the room reading your paper. |
