I'm a former teacher turned PhD. candidate [ & die-hard Tennessean ] at UT. I've just launched a blog as both a medium for my research in social theory and a teaching tool that will feature posts from local academic types and activists on current issues through an education lens.
I just came over here to KnoxViews to see what was going on in the local blog scence when I came across this post about a 'bloggerfest'. I'm excited to see such an active community is alive and well here in the Valley! If I can get out of my plans, I'll drop by Barley's tonight. Where can I find you guys?
Note: It's tomorrow night,

I'm looking forward to meeting everybody, and hoping to reconnect with some old familiar faces.
