“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Today's Panel

With Ursula Heise and Rob Nixon, whom I haven't seen since Rutgers last February. And Wai Chee Dimock, from Yale, whom I've never met. I'm looking forward to it. Happily my paper is shorter than the one I gave on Thursday, so I have less anxiety about time issues. It's the last day of the conference, so who knows who will show up? But I think it's going to be very interesting.
