Greetings Elves! So good to be back in touch after a long hiatus. Some
of you I know, most I do not. But let me invite you to Athens for a
fabulous conference. It's somewhat like the forum but with lots of
Southern hospitality, and that can be good in January! Alas, the next
two years I will not be in town--I'll be at a low-residency MFA program
in poetry in New Hampshire. But I fell in love with this conference
before I started at UGA and I still love it 3 years later. And the
keynotes rock.<br>

style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman";">Technological
innovations, the development of multinational corporate structures, and
growth
in transnational population flows have resulted in globally shifting
political,
economic, and social landscapes. Qualitative researchers have access to
new
methods of generating, analyzing and representing data, along with
expanded
opportunities for forming different kinds of research alliances with
both other
researchers and participants in studies. Yet, along with these
opportunities
come challenges. Political agendas impact the ways in which knowledge
is
produced, what research is valued, and how and what research findings
are
disseminated. With the promise of technology, come new ethical
dilemmas.
Transnational population flows allow for new spaces for understanding
of
difference, as well as possibilities for shifting discourses of
intolerance.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>
