Okay - here's the blogspace -

http://cyberdiva.typepad.com/postcolonialaoir/

Anyone wishing to participate virtually, email me with

1] Why do you want to participate - your thoughts and experience at this 
intersection...

2] Your email address, Name, affiliation and so on

Posting of abstracts from the Precon that happens on October 15 at Toronto 
still depends on whether participants there give me permission to do so.

thanks,

>>postcolonial feminisms" and "internet studies". This is as much about
>>making postcolonial theory take Internet (and associated

>>Topics covered include digital diasporas and religion, globalization and
