It has been a long, but great first day at the PCRID conference. As always, there were a a few minor hiccups, but this continues to be a fantastic learning experience. I have enjoyed seeing friends and colleagues as well as meeting new people.
The highlight of my day was having the privilege of introducing Dennis Cokely at his workshop. Dr. Cokely presented a six hour workshop entitled, "Cars, Dogs, and Cows: Culturally Rich Realities," during which we examined what defines our schema and our we can co-construct a shared schema with those around us. Function is what defines the "car-ness,""dog-ness," and "cow-ness" in our lives. As interpreters, we must evaluate how explict and implict meaning will affect our work.
This day has been a blur and I am sure the weekend will go by just as quickly. On that note, I am off to bed since morning will come all too soon.
