Giving the people what they wanted.. right?!

No, but seriously, had so much fun writing this paper and the excuse it gave me to re-read revolutions in Narnia, as well as, better yet, the excuse to reread the Declaration (many times) and The Lion and Caspian as I worked on this.

[The Optimistic Curmudgeon @TheOptimisticC3]

Step 1 - issue a CFP stressing the Declaration (because America 250).

Step 2 - love Lewis and Narnia.

Step 3 - Dr. Sarah Waters delivering a Declaration reading of Lion and Prince Caspian.

Only at @ciceroniansoc.

@TheOptimisticC3 @SterlingCLife @ciceroniansoc Thanks so much, was great fun to write, and appreciated the warm response! I really enjoyed your paper also.

[Sarah Waters @srawaters]

The last few days, I and some of our @SterlingCLife Literature students have been at the @ciceroniansoc conference at Creighton. Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking on a panel on C.S. Lewis & the world, where I talked about Lewis, the Declaration of Independence, and Narnia.

[Sterling College C.S. Lewis Center @sclewiscenter]

Over the next three days, our Director, Dr. @srawaters if up at Creighton University at the @ciceroniansoc conference where tomorrow, she's giving a paper entitled "Lewis and Revolution" which will tackle texts as diverse as Prince Caspian and The Declaration of Independence.

Today was #KansasDay, and in the midst of the snow, frigid temperatures, and a heavy teaching day, I celebrated with snatches of memories of the last year or so, and was reminded again how glad I am to call this state home. No place like it, so they say (spoiler, they're right).
