Academic blog 'Conference Inference' celebrates its 2nd anniversary
The academic blog 'Conference Inference: Blogging the World of Conferences' was launched in early 2017 by Dr Emily Henderson (CES, Warwick) and Dr James Burford (La Trove University), as a platform for the sharing of critical commentary on academic conferences. Given the paucity of literature in this field, the blog has provided a key site for the development of this field. The blog includes guest contributions and topics range across care, knowledge production, precarity, bodies and beyond. The blog has celebrated its 2nd anniversary and is now into its third year. With readers in over 100 countries and over 10,000 unique visitors to the site, this blog is making significant inroads into an under-researched area.
