An ARMY in Academia: A Conversation
PANEL TO BE RESCHEDULED
Often, there are misconceptions about the ways that people working in academic fields balancing being a “professional” and being a “fan.” In this presentation, we will discuss how we have encountered these misconceptions and perceptions of being a fan doing academic work or an academic doing fan work. Perhaps the lines between the two are not so clear? Perhaps the lines between any of these aspects of our lives are not so clear?
Panelists:
- Chelsea Murdock
- Candace Epps-Roberston
