Is anyone going to 'A conducive context? Misogyny, inequality and violence'?

[GastonTheLadybird]

It's a one day conference, I just got the Facebook invite, as I'm sure many of you did via LFN.

I think I am going to attend - schedule permitting - as I am going to focus my dissertation next year on the evolution of feminism (yet to narrow down entirely how to focus it yet). Just wondered if anyone from here was going?

[ElephantsAndMiasmas]

I've got to work that day :(

But if people are going to be around, then....drink later?

[BertieBotts]

What is it? Is there a link or anything? Or is it invite-only?

[steamedtreaclesponge]

It does sound good - am at work too, sadly

Liking the drinks idea though!

[thefinerthingsinlife]

Yes I hope to go.

[GastonTheLadybird]

Sorry - should have posted the programme link!

I think it looks really interesting, I don't work on a Wednesday so if I can get DD to go to a friends or nursery I should be able to make it and I never turn down drinks!

[GastonTheLadybird]

Could you not get £10 activist rate? I think the £110 charge is for people going from a business, unless you would be going from a corporate organisation?

[YouMustBeYolking]

I am going to try and attend. It would be nice to catch up afterwards as I have had to leave early both other times I have met MN feminists.

[GastonTheLadybird]

Of course SGM, sorry, you must think I'm a total London-centric idiot assuming everyone lives here/near

I haven't met any MN feminists before - to my knowledge anyway!

[BibiBlocksberg]

That sounds really interesting.

Do you reckon it'd be suitable for a fledgling feminist?

Oh, and will they demand proof of anyone being an activist?

Might be stoopid question but have to ask :)

StewieGriffinsMom - I'm going through an adventurous phase in my life - we can always share a twin room so long as you promise you're not an axe murderer or a heavy snorer

[BibiBlocksberg]

Well, that sounds lovely Lois - let me know if DH diary is in agreement and I'll go and get MY Axe sharpened check if I can have the time off work.

[InmaculadaConcepcion]

That looks fascinating. I can't make it myself, but would love to read a thread discussing the salient points afterwards....

[BertieBotts]

I think I might be able to come :) I'm close enough that could come down on the train, so just dependent on whether someone can have DS for the whole day.

If I do come, I'll have to hang around until 7 for the return train so if people are having drinks I'd love to join! How exciting :)

[thefinerthingsinlife]

This might be a daft question but i'm using the "I've never been to a conference like this" excuse. Do people take notes? I want to take a note book and scribble down things, if I did would I look a complete plonker?

[thefinerthingsinlife]

I'll take a notebook along then.

[SardineQueen]

Just marking my place on here to see if I can come / come for a drink. Everything's a bit up in the air at the moment but fingers crossed!

[thefinerthingsinlife]

I don't know if anyone wants to meet at Elephant & Castle and find SB university together?

[BertieBotts]

I'll be coming in at Elephant & Castle if I'm coming, at around 9.30 though.
