That’s definitely ok! One of them had questions about my language preparation and goals, so I emailed with more of my language background, my goals for this year, and my goals long term. Then I asked a few more questions about language programs at the school and in the city, or partnerships with other schools for an indigenous language not offered. We had a good longer conversation about that one. The others we talked more about where our eresearch interests overlapped, new books that came out in our field this year, and even career mentorship. Emailing let us keep conversations open.
