I made it back from Boston without any troubles. It was a very good conference. I must have done better than I thought during the interview as I just found out that I made it to the second round. They will call me next Wednesday at 1:45pm Indiana time. I met a lot of nice people at the conference and made some good contacts. All in all, it was a success. I'm glad to be back home though.
Most of the panels were in the Hynes Convention Center. Right next to the Convention Center is the Franscican Chapel. It was nice to have it right there.
Here is a picture of the entrance to the Convention Center, taken with my back to the Chapel. About an hour before my job interview there was an alarm and we had to evacuate the center! Fortunately, nothing came of it and we were back inside wtihin twenty minutes. I was a little nervous about my interview but fortunately they kept giving them, it was just a little delayed.
The exhibition hall where they sell books. On the last day you can get really good deals, I bought a couple I need for my work for half price. I also met the people published the Milestone Documents in World History, which has an article I wrote in it. It was fun to meet people I had only emailed with before.
A meeting of the FKSDSG (Fulbright Korean Studies Dissertation Support Group, there were only five of us in the group so there are more words in the name than members!). The other people in the picture are Mike, a historian working on Japanese prisons in colonial Korea, and Katherine, an ethno-musicologist working on a lot of different projects focusing on traditional farmer/folk music and its use in political movements. Mike was there for interviews and Katherine attends Harvard so she was really close and able to pay us a visit.
