Welcome!

We’d like to welcome you to the Sustaining Sustenance blog, developed in preparation for our seminar together in Minneapolis at the 2011 Imagining America conference.

As we mentioned earlier in our email via Matt, we have setup the blog to enable all the participants to read the submissions of each other, and ultimately to host a conversation regarding some of the key questions that appear in your submissions in advance of the conference.

All of the participants’ submissions, as well as our original call for submissions, appear in the right-hand sidebar. You can read and comment on any of these as you wish. This main page will host the main threaded conversation. In order to make a post to the blog (which we hope that all of you will do!), you will need to login with the credentials sent to you via email.

We will be making a follow-up post shortly with additional details and provocations for the conference, but feel free to engage in the blog with new topic posts or comments on other posts at any time!

We look forward to the discussion.

Brian, Kathleen, and Matt
