X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Status: O Content-Length: 1266 Lines: 33 HI Does anyone on this list have any interest in or connection to the NWSA (National Women's Studies Assoc.)? They are having their annual conference in June, 2001 at the U of Minnesota in Minneapolis -- practically in my back yard. They're doing a embedded conference called "The Future of Women's Studies: Is it feminist" and a plenary section on technofeminisms (cyberspace and computers and such). I was thinking (since I live in the Twin Cities), of putting together a proposal for a workshop or roundatable discussion on the connections of these issues and adult women's basic literacy (e.g., do you have to read to be a feminist?). I'm somewhat interested in the ways that "women's issues" are proposed/moved forward while continuing to silence and invisiblize women who can't read/write very well, live in poverty, or are otherwise marginalized. does anyone have any interest in this? the proposal deadline is due Nov. 12. please contact me privately (mev@winternet.com) or if we want an open discussion on it here, i'd be willing to weave additional viewpoints into the proposal if I can. I've put this same question to the Women's Studies elist -- maybe we'll have some cross fertilization!! Thanks. Mev Mev Miller mev@winternet.com
