I meet with the head of the school of communication today at the Jordanstown campus about 20 minutes from Belfast. We are discussing a collaboration of my next academic book project. Then I pull luggage next door to the hotel and take a train to Derry/Londerry for three days. I will meet with another division of the University of Ulster there as well. I am excited about this project and hope that it will take root and grow into a book. In the meantime, I will walk in the rain, the wind, and the chilly temperature to the University. There was a conflict in Belfast last evening in the west end, but I am in center city so all is calm, no worries.
