South West Popular American Culture Association Conference

On Wednesday 19th February I presented my paper, For Queen and Country: James Bond and National Identity in the Daniel Craig era, as part of the James Bond, Espionage and Eurospy section at the South West Popular American Culture Association Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA - http://southwestpca.org/ 

As well as receiving positive feedback I also had a great time meeting fellow Bond enthusiasts and learning about their research into the field and I am now following the blogs of the panel chairs: Michele Brittany http://spyfi-superspies.blogspot.co.uk/ and Nicholas Diak http://heiligetod.blogspot.co.uk/

I was very honoured to be able to participate in debates about Bond issues with scholars who are in the process of publishing their work in book form or who have already done so, most notably in James Bond in World and Popular Culture: The Films are Not Enough, edited by Robert G. Weiner, with whom I also met. I am now looking to publish the paper I presented so watch this space!

    It was great meeting you Sarah, and I hope you remain in touch with Michele and I and perhaps a collaboration of sorts in the future?

    To me, I wish the conference had been better, but being ill and presenting to a near empty room at 8am Thursday morning was discouraging to me.

    Perhaps next year will be more successful.
