Hello to those of you who have found your way to this blog.
My name is Maxwell Philbrook and I'd like to welcome you to my blog. I'm a PhD student in Rhetoric and Composition in the English Department here at Mizzou. I study the movement of texts in an increasingly global world, and I am especially interested in how arguments about food circulate transnationally. I received a MA from the University of Minnesota Duluth and I'm glad to be here.
I'm originally from Minneapolis area Minnesota, home of the Minnesota Twins, Atmosphere, and mosquitoes so big you need a tennis racket to smash them. Minnesota is a wonderful place to live, but Columbia is a close second.
My plan for this space is to chronicle my writing during a four-week summer session course as I begin to incorporate mindful practices into my writing process. I am currently in the process of working on my comprehensive examinations. In the English Department, we have a comps process where we write an essay over our comps year, instead of locking ourselves in a room examination-style. I'll be doing some work for that on this blog, but I'll also be reflecting on my mindfulness practices that I incorporate into my comps process.
For now, you can get to know me better around the web:
