Tadaaa!

So, the Bluestocking Homepage is up, although it's still quite rough around the edges.

We're having our first discussion group next month:

Why don't conflicts get solved? Join us for the first Community Scholars discussion group Tuesday 3 March 2009 at 8.00 pm at the Tresillian Community Centre (corner of Edwards St. and Tyrell St., Nedlands). Christalla Yakinthou will lead a discussion looking at what lies underneath conflicts that are called intractable, and what becomes of a society that has been deeply traumatised by war. If you'd like to raise questions that would be of particular interest to you, please visit the discussion page on our forum.

I'm not sure whether this sort of thing is for you, dear reader, but if it is I would certainly love to see you there!

I'm looking forward to the discussion, and more generally to Getting Stuff Happening with Bluestocking, although I'm still a little nervous about the whole endeavour. We have some ideas for (workable) projects now, as well as a lot of (grander, more difficult) ideas for the future, and it's starting to look more like a real thing than a game.

That's all on essential updates for now. Apart from that, the workshop in Sydney was pretty good, and it's nice to be in Armidale with motherdear.

Comments

I am intrigued. If I get the impression that I'll be welcome (and feel capable of restraining my abrasiveness that night) I may rock up.

Abrasiveness

Trust me, I think in this case your base level of abrasiveness can't compete with the sorts of comments Christalla's faced from people who are more involved in the conflicts she's studied.

The site looks amazing. I continue to be surprised by your brilliance and fear that one day it will blind me. I am thinking about coming down, more for a listen then to talk but I am not entirely decided. Glad to hear that you are having fun times and get to see your mother again. Love.

Nevermind...we'll be having these things every month, so hopefully you can make it to the next one.
