Anyone going to London RadFem Collective Theory Conference 21st and 22nd of September? TITLE EDITED AT OP'S REQUEST

[jennymanara]

Is anyone going to the RadFem Collective Theory Conference in London? I am considering going, just weighing up cost of getting there and accommodation. Is there a mumsnet meet up organised?

Ooh have you got a link? I doubt I could make it due to childcare but would be interested to know more.

This looks amazing. I'll be in London then so I should go. It's a pity I didn't find it earlier or I might have come up with an idea for a paper.

Sorry didn't post dates or link in title. They have a creche.
So is anyone actually going?

Sorry Spartacus I missed that you said you were going. Will report it to MN.
Yes theory is just another word for ideas. Maybe they should have called it a different name?

Just nipping on here to say we've edited your thread title, as requested @jennymanara

Thanks

There is a creche, so childcare issues hopefully won't be a barrier. I'm going, but working in the creche so won't actually be there as it were. I don't feel like I'm remotely knowledgeable enough to take part in any discussions that occur, all I know is I have a daughter who will be stumbling into adulthood while all this bullshit goes on around her. I've volunteered to work in the creche because I know childcare is a genuine issue for many women, and I'd like to do as much as I can to enable as many women as possible to attend.

Surely you don't have to take part in the discussions? I was thinking of going and just listening. I may not understand everything, but I am sure I will understand some of it.

Oh no, of course you don't. I just feel like I could be of more use doing the thing I'm actually qualified to do, and enable other women to attend!

I’d think about going but I can’t get into London that early.

Just bumping this because we're trying to promote the creche a bit! Please don't let childcare be a barrier to coming along!
I'll be travelling down from Colchester on the train if anyone would like company for the journey too

Isn't this the same weekend as Filia?

Going to be spoilt for choice!

I thought FILIA was in October?

I'll be there. Also helping in the creche rather than participating but really excited to be part of it.

Ah. My mistake, sorry!

Bumping this - event coming up soon! Unfortunately I can't make it... looks so interesting.
