Huge kudos to Faye Browning, Liz Paige and Alison Romain from TSA for
organizing this, and infinite thanks for supporting the Symposium!


On Friday and Saturday, we have an amazing array of International and local
luminaries who'll start and facilitate our ongoing dialogue:

I'd like to thank them all for giving so generously of their time and
expertise to further this important research.

Friday and Saturday's free Symposium will be Live Blogged between 10-5:30pm
EST http://feminismandcurating.pbworks.com/w/page/45814557/Live%20Blog
Thanks to volunteer Neal Stimler for coming down from the Met to manage this
and more!

Friday's plenary sessions will be videoed and added later to the wiki, along
with a CART full text transcript of the day's conversation. I'd like to
thank Marc Bretzfelder from OCIO and Beth Ziebarth from the Accessibility
Program for helping us increase access to the Symposium exponentially by
providing this critical technology support.

Join the wiki at any time and continue the conversation in the Forum:

And if you can join us in person, say hi to volunteers Sonja Lopez, Laurie
Stepp, Ginny Hogan and Stacie Kirby, without whom this event could not have
happened!
