trans Hey all,
I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this, but I wanted to send out a heads up (and an invite), to a trans* conference happening in Peterborough, Ontario on April 9th and 10th. I've been working hard with a small group of other organizers from our local grassroots trans activist organization, Transmission, to put this conference together. I'll also be doing a workshop on the 10th called Youtube, blogs, and self rep. It'll be taking a look at self rep and community building online, and it's importance and impact on the trans* community. Incidentally, the workshop is just in the works, so if anyone has any suggestions, or anything they'd like to see from this kind of workshop feel free to let me know!
So, the conference is called Bodies of Dissent: Transform. This will be its second year running, and we hope to be able to make this a yearly event. Here's a link to the website, which includes information on registration, location, and a schedule of the workshops. Keep an eye on it, because we'll have further descriptions of the workshops themselves up soon. bodiesofdissent.webs.com
Bodies of Dissent: Transform will be focused on discussing strategies and networks to change individuals, communities, organizations and systems. We are issuing a call to action to unite and build communities of empowerment and change.
Hope some of you can make it. If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks!
