I’ve been a small part of the feminist blogosphere for some four years now, but haven’t met very many of the amazing folks who do what we do. That’s going to change early next spring, as I’m signing up for the Women, Action, and the Media conference to be held in late March in Cambridge, MA. Of course, I made the decision to go much too late, and thus missed the deadline for panel proposals. But I’ll be there as a fan, as a blogger, as a teacher, eager to connect with and learn from an all-star cast that includes most of the luminaries of our blogging world: Amanda Marcotte, Jessica Valenti, Brownfemipower, Garance Franke-Ruta, Lisa Jervis, Courtney Martin and many, many others. And with veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas offering the keynote, it should be a terrific and exciting event. I’ve been to a lot of academic conferences in my day, but never to anything like what this promises to be. I’m excited.
Sign up and join me there!
I wanna go!!
Wait. Nevermind. It’s in another state. HA! Have fun!
Sigh. Wish I had the time/money…and I’d like to add that Roy from No Cookies for Me is giving a panel presentation as well.
I will definitely make it to Roy’s panel, thanks for the tip, Jeff. You and I will meet eventually!
I hope we do meet someday, Hugo. But whatever you do or say when we meet, I will not join up with your cult. I am speaking, of course, of the Cult of Running. :)
That’s okay, Jeff… those who choose not to embrace the Light are also loved by the Light! ;-)
