Hello SIGCIS membership!

For those who missed the announcement in Andy Russell's prior email about upcoming SIGCIS events at SHOT Milan: Con Diaz and I will be hosting a book raffle at the Friday SIGCIS lunch on October 25th, from 12:30-2pm. 

Traditionally, books for auction/raffle are a mix of donations from MIT Press and our members. Which means...we want your books! If you've published anything--be it a monograph, edited collection, whatever--in the past 5 years or so and have a few copies to spare, please consider donating to the book auction! Funds from the book auction go directly to travel grants for our grad students. In other words:

books = money = travel grants = bigger, better sigcis = more books in the future?

Truly, a virtuous circle. If you've got books to spare, please drop me an email. Its easier for us to prepare if we know what might be in store!

Ciao,
