Nice to see two former interns speaking--Paul Wheatley and Matt Larsen.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things Matt Larsen spoke was "For me, I'm not even interested in the original text." That was in response to Clark Bates saying that in TC circles that's all they seem to care about.
DeleteHi Daniel, did he happen to say what he is interested in? -M.M.R.
DeleteI'll be there. But what is this "Respondent" thing? Is that kind of like when the Democrats send someone on to rebut the American President's State of the Union Address?
ReplyDeleteConference sessions often include a respondent, who adds to the discussion, not necessarily in an adversarial way. "Conference Rules: How to be a Good Respondent" by Linda Kerber in Chronicle of Education in effect responds to your question.
