Okay, how cool is this? Preparing for NRC next week... Putting together bios for the session I get to chair... But wait, why do these names sound so familiar?!?! Wait, remember Deerhunter?! We loved reading and wondering about O'Brien's "'Struggling' adolescents' engagement in multimediating: Countering the institutional construction of incompetence" (a.k.a. Chapter 2 in Alvermann et. al.). Also loved Dillon's Chapter 5, "Adolescent identities as demanded by science classroom discourse communities." Somehow I didn't put together that I'd be introducing people whose work I've been reading until just now...
I feel a little star struck this morning, waking up to find an email from Deborah Dillon in my inbox. I'm so looking forward to NRC!

I had similar thoughts during my email conversation with Donna Alvermann--like, really, the Donna Alvermann--wow. And then I realized what a small little world I live in that Donna Alvermann is a celebrity. But, frankly, I'll take that world, the people in it, and her over Brittany Spears or Paris Hilton any day.
