Mentioned on the Dortmund University page
Gearing up for Germany, and in the process of doing so, found the following on the University of Dortmund page.
"Edward Carvalho, for example, currently completing a doctoral thesis on Whitman in Pennsylvania, will read from his own poetry in the Dortmund’s funky Nordstadt."

Truly an honor to be named among such scholars as Ed Folsom and Betsy Erkkila.
On another note, I must again apologize for the long silence (already violating my New Year's resolution to blog more). I am currently wrapping up work on the forthcoming Society for Critical Exchange issue of Works and Days, and simultaneously working on the first third of my guest-edited volume on Academic Freedom and Intellectual Activism in the Post-9/11 University. My interviews with Cornel West, Noam Chomsky, and Martin Espada have all been transcribed and are in the proofing stages. By next week, we should be moving these and other pieces from Henry Giroux, Eric Cheyfitz, Sophia McClennen, Michael Bérubé, and David Beard to galleys.
Before heading to Germany (June 14-June 23), I have to get a leg-up on the Whitman reading for the seminar and prep my College Writing syllabus for the fall semester at the same time. It seems like this year is already flying by at a ridiculous pace and there's just no shortage of things I have to address. All rewarding work, but exhausting, nonetheless! At least with Germany I'll have the opportunity to see some new terrian and, more than likely, gain some new perspectives. I've been trying to think of it as a "working vacation," with heavy emphasis on the latter portion of that phrase.
