Of more than academic interest

Much more to report on this topic, but for now, take note! SVP will be co-presenting what (we believe) is the first-ever U.S. conference on street vendors, May 14-15, 2010 in Los Angeles. Exciting!  The event will be attended by both academics and street vendor advocates & activists. For now, if you want to present your academic work, take a look at this Request for Papers. Abstracts are due January 22nd. If you need some inspiration, check out Illegibility, Uncertainty and the Management of Street Vending in New York City, and oldie but a goodie by friend-of-SVP Ryan Devlin.
