chris parr; higginbothams; memoirs; wstd group; takeover; feminist spirituality talk

dr. strikwerda's intro to women's studies class

1 -- was invited to speak @ dr. strikwerda's intro class about 'feminist spirituality,' including discussion of rituals, what we do, why, beliefs
2 -- sondra (co-head of h&c) is coming

chris parr
chris is the faculty advisor of the webster pagan group, teaches intro to wicca, and is a practicing pagan.  a good contact for texts, speakers, events, praxis/beliefs, etc.

higginbothams


I quoted a book from Joyce and River Higginbotham earlier in this blog; apparently, Chris Parr knows them well -- and they live in the area!  They've spoken for his Intro class.  And... apparently he used their book in the class!  Muy fortuito!  Definitely a resource -- and possibly a speaker for h&c?

memoirs

Anonymous contributer has promised me a memoir by 11/5.  Candice, I'm told (by Penny) has framed the memoir, focalized on a particular image, and should be done with it soon.  may follow up. 


wstd group

1 -- so, i emailed womack a while back and didn't hear anything.  i'm going to arbitrarily pick a date/time for an interest group and just go with that.
2 -- in addition to managing a blog en futuro, the group may also try to continue Karelia's project of "suppers" with her transitional women's group at ymca. 

takeover

1 -- announcing meetings of h&c and wstd group
2 -- making media to distribute


come out of the broom closet!


1 -- this is a possible event for the spring semester.

penny meeting

1 -- went well, pp suggestions (compile visuals)
2 -- paper
a -- inspirations/motivations
b -- what went down
c -- reflections: self as activist?  skills/resources gained?
