Interested in Doing a Panel Discussion at the AMC with Me? *Update with Workshop Info

Sun, 18 Mar 2007 12:26:50 -0700

The deadline for submitting a workshop proposal for the 2007 Allied Media Conference has been extended to March 23rd! I am submitting a workshop proposal and was thinking about doing a panel discussion. Would any of you be interested in doing this with me? I find doing a panel discussion a little easier than conducting a workshop alone, and I've been part of panel discussions at various events including Mamagathering 2004, Cleveland Zinefest 2005, Cleveland BW 2006, and more. What do you think, are you interested? A little about the event:

zine workshop/presentation

Fri, 21 Jul 2006 00:20:21 -0700

so i am presenting a workshop on zinemaking and giving a presentation of the basic idea of zine culture and zine history. too, particularly women zinesters and feminist zines/zinesters.
the presentation is in nov so i have some time to gather resources and do my research. i'm in contact with the ESPA here, who maintains an extensive zine collection, so hopefully they will be helpful to me in this respect as well...but a point in any direction would be great. links, books, people to contact or learn about...

grammar Q

Wed, 26 Apr 2006 06:54:09 -0700

Are these sentences grammatical? And if not, could you rewrite for me or explain what wrong inside is? Please :)

His disclaim and answers were not in parallelism and were filled with repetition, it may conflict the law.
My professor was sued for disturbance by spreading copy of repetition of his student’s issue.

"The Future Generation: Anarchist Parenting and Community"

As a young, anarchist, mother I felt I was setting down an unmarked path. I didn't know many others like myself and started a zine in 1990 “The Future Generation�? to share information and create a radical parent network. My core beliefs have stayed the same over the years: parents need to be supported, not ostracized and alienated. Oppression starts at birth; so does resistance. However we can’t do it alone, we need our community

Don't Leave your Friends Behind: anarcha-feminism & supporting mothers and children

writers groups

Tue, 14 Feb 2006 05:46:51 -0800

I was just wondering if any of you participate in writers groups. I think I could benefit from something like that but I have yet to make the leap. I write in kind of an undisciplined, sporadic way and I don't really have anyone to get feedback from. I also wonder how I would find the time for a group or writers workshop between work and the kids.
Another question......do most of you submit your work to others once you have finished it? How about non-mama writings? How do you find venues for your work?

infoshops/skillshares

Sun, 15 Aug 2004 09:29:00 -0700

This is long - I cut and paste from hipmama chat to over here.

the premise is Audrey is going to give a parenting workshop and wants ideas on that.

(*and* I wanted to share my experience with having just given a workshop "Creating Awareness and Support for Radical Mothers and Children within the subculture" at the Philly skill share at Code based around the time of the Pointless Festival (punk rock anarchist kids)

....from Hipmama....
i spent the early part of today at a skillshare in philadelphia, but ironically had to miss the infoshop for parents and allies because my wee one was teething like mad and just wanted to get the HELL OUTTA THERE, so i while i left with some interesting new knowledge about self-sufficency and DIY, i didn't get the chance to pick the brain of the fabulous ms china martens, who was to lead the discussion, so i'm here, asking the hipmamas what kind of topics would you like to discuss at a parenting infoshop? i'm leading one in the near future and while i plan to discuss the importance of inclusion within the activist community, support and empowering of teen and other marginalized moms/parents, radicalizing and empowering children, etc, what else do you think is important info to get out to the masses? what topics would you like to see discussed in such a forum, and hey! let's discuss 'em here, too!
