An existential, autoethnographic exploration of a runner identity” and co-authored by lead researcher Noora Ronkainen and Professor Tatiana Riba of Aarhus University, Denmark, has been accepted for publication at Qualitative Research in Psychology, a Taylor and Francis peer-reviewed journal.

Harrison & Baiano to Present at 2013 Congress
On Saturday, June 1st, 2013 Marlen and UT student Alexa Baiano will kick off the Sexuality Studies Association’s scientific program; their discussion of sex and the college writing classroom will be SSA’s first presentation of the weekend as part of Canada’s 2013 Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences. View the abstract here.
From congress2013.ca: “Unrivaled in scope and impact, the annual Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences is known simply as “Congress.” Now in its 82nd year, this singular, flagship event is much more than Canada’s largest gathering of scholars across disciplines. Organized by the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences, Congress brings together academics, researchers, policy-makers, and practitioners to share findings, refine ideas, and build partnerships that will help shape the Canada of tomorrow.
