Laura, Morgan,
Why don't we use this as the first event at which to deliver an oral version of our paper about vegetal experience (drawing from the PLSS, Spinoza, Bateson, Guattari, ...)
If you're interested in firing up a talk about our paper -- let's do so at the second TML meeting or the first Bateson seminar.
Regards,
Xin Wei

The National Integrative Research Conference (NiRC) is being planned for March 2011 at McGill University. Fundamentally, this conference will see students from across North America present their research on integrative topics. We, its planning committee, are looking for researchers to present their work on integrative topics and we are thrilled to invite Concordia University to be a part of this conference.
Essentially, NiRC is an exciting, academically oriented opportunity for undergraduate university students aimed at exposing them to current research in interdisciplinary fields, whereby inspiration may be drawn for future pursuits in their desired domains. The primary objective is to provide a forum for interdisciplinary researchers to voice their intellectual views in a facilitative environment that fosters the expression, reception, and discussion of their ideas. Both research projects and research papers will be accepted.
It is pertinent to emphasize that NiRC will be conducted in conjunction with another McGill, student-run conference: Ampersand. This profit neutral event began with the conviction that exploration and discovery are keys to success. Consequently, the conference builds on these two themes through its dynamic series of lectures and workshops that facilitate groundbreaking experiences and new perspectives. Together, NiRC and Ampersand work towards a common goal of reinvigorating the landscape of academic thought; the former tackles a broad spectrum of integrative topics while the latter focuses on a specific domain and provides a depth of insight into its integrative possibilities. With this in mind, we believe it will be quite attractive for both NiRC contributors and delegates to stay an extra day to experience Ampersand as well.
We have attached a poster to this email. If you have any questions regarding the nature of this conference, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are looking forward to working with you in the hopes of making this conference a truly wonderful experience for all attendees and contributors.
Sincerely,
Erin Luxenberg
NiRC Planning Committee
