About Damn Time

Arts Journal calls it "navel gazing," and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune calls it "fretting," but I call the TCG conference's focus on "asking ourselves how to serve our missions and where we will go in this century" about damn time. They seem to be struggling between globalization and localization, and I hope Wole Soyinka will have a few principled words to help them. I don't know what will come of the meeting, but I hope a few radical ideas are heard and considered.
