Right I have been procrastinating about sharing some more info about UK Feminista summer school. Will have to post in short bursts I think but I hope some people will find the links etc interesting. This will be unrefined and a bit all over the place but I want to get this info out there!
The first panel I went to was "Building Feminist Movements Through Social Media" with:
Laura Bates www.everydaysexism.com/
Lucy Holmes nomorepage3.org/
Suzee Morayef - Egyptian writer and journalist
Rosie Rogers www.ukuncut.org.uk/
It was great to see Laura & Lucy talking about their campaigns. Laura talked about soon after she set up the website and was subject to lots of threats and abuse she stumbled upon our very own section here and got support on this board. After the session I found her and proudly told her that I was a MN Feminist!
There was discussion in the session about the use of social media to "change the conversation" - twitter in particular. Facebook is more of a debate space and a place to answer queries.
There was discussion about taking things off-line. How to include people who don't use social media. Plus the example of British Transport Police setting being influenced by the everydaysexism project.
Suzee talked about events in Egypt and how twitter had been used to rescue women by using live tweets to find people. The authorities in Egypt deem that women on the streets must "want to be raped". 
. It was very sobering and powerful. Read her blog for more information.
