WSTD Blog updates...

1) Met with the advisory board on Monday at 3:30. A WSTD blog is approved. Possibly with a need for comment moderation if hate mail pops up.
2) Shelly Womack and I are going to try to start a WSTD Departmental club and this group will likely have responsibility for the blog. Shelly and I are meeting this afternoon at 3:45 at Laclede Coffee House. My thought is for us to:
a) plan to hold a general interest meeting
b) contemplate a mission statement, activities, roles
c) contemplate charter and consitution
d) agenda? brainstorm ideas?
3) Takeover is tonight. Pictures are a must! These pics should be blogged!

4) Met with my blog-savvy professor on Monday at 10AM. Assuming we use blogspot, she is helping me figure out how to:
a) make folders in the blog
b) allow multiple people to post.
5) The facebook idea was debunked. If there is some desire to revive it at some point, maybe we can synchronize it with the actual department blog.
6) What should we title the blog??

Memoirs

1) Am going to set a tenative deadline to have all memoirs by Nov. 5
2) Thought maybe I could collaborate with SLU monologues? If approved by subjects; could be a way to share the compilation on a broader, more interactive scale.

Heart and Crescent

1) Meeting with Mark Chmiel today at 4:30 at Laclede Coffee House to discuss the best approach to working with Theology department (et all...).
2) I'm describing the group as centered in "post-conventional spirituality." Why:
a) I feel like Wicca is too much an inclusive term, and I don't consider myself orthodox Wiccan or even strictly Wiccan, and I think most "neopagans" feel the same way. The point is to find one's own path!
b) I hope this change in terms will help us avoiding meeting with immediate disapproval or negative stigma, especially from campus ministry.

I attended a few events.

1) Sexualizing Black Dance in Colonial Africa, Katrina Johnson (associate professor -- history). I'm going to find the actual title of this presentation. >.< I was essentially the only non-faculty person in attendance, so I'm thinking this one might make an interesting blog. I hope I acquit myself well!
2) Made in L.A. showing
3) Brown Bag with Jeannita on Nappistemology/Black Hair Philosophy (also going to get this actual title).

I may blog about these events as well.
