Research Service will be presenting at the Interrupt III conference this weekend in Providence. More info on the conference here. A description of our project:

“Report On a Day’s Proceedings at the Initiative for Directed Coopetition.” This staging of a conference presentation foregrounds scholarly address as a collective, theatrical scenario. The format borrows from the conventions of both the academic lecture and the stage. Situated between these genres, the performance features PowerPoint visuals, mutations of scholarly mainstays, site-specific citations, and a guest appearance by Judy Garland. Speaking to the form of the conference itself, the Initiative for Directed Coopetition reports from the space where noise fails to reach its signal.
