Well, to my surprise I’m now co-author on a paper that was accepted to a regular session at the ASA (American Sociological Association) annual meeting this fall. Which means that, well, it’d be very very good for my career if I go to the ASA annual meeting this fall.
The bad news is that it happens before fall semester starts. Before loan money comes in. While all grad students are poor.
So, basically, what I’m looking for is two things:
1. Someone who is willing to put me up in Boston from July 31 - August 4 (this is the ASA conference, plus a section pre-conference, which I’m submitting a paper to).
2. Someone who is willing to put me up in Seattle (or nearby Seattle) from August 29 - 31. This is when PAX is. I will have money by then, but I think it would be more fun with other people, even if it is a working trip. The beautiful thing about using adult female video game players as your thesis participants/subjects is that your field work is at… events like PAX.
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
