I am on sabbatical until August and have been keeping a list in my journal of the academic activities I engage in. This practice is partly for myself, so that I make sure I am using the time productively, and partly for my institution, which requires me to write a report about the sabbatical once it finishes. Here is a list of what I accomplished in June, generally in chronological order. I did less than in some previous months (you can read about what I accomplished in May here) because I focused mostly on reading for a new writing project that I am beginning this week.
1. Updated the Mennonite/s Writing Bibliographies and blog throughout the month.
2. Peer reviewed a book in one of my fields for a university press.
3. Updated my website.
4. Was elected to the Sexual Minorities Archives‘s Board of Directors and worked on various tasks for it throughout the month.
5. Revised and submitted an essay about Mennonite speculative fiction for a special journal issue on Mennonite political theology.
