Feminism – Australian Webcarnival And Perth Convention!

by podblack on April 7, 2009

Just a few quick hits, with thanks to Hoyden About Town:

Perth Feminist SF Unconference Invites YOU to attend!

This year we have a number of panel items on the main Swancon programme, plus the guerrilla programme is also being discussed at the Gynaecon LJ community. The panel items include a round table discussion on the issue of Women at Worldcon, and what we, as fans, can do to include more women in the panels, in the Guest list, and in attendance. We will also be discussing the presentation of strong women in Dr Who and the Whedonverse, looking at the construction of women in various TV series and the related agency they have within plotlines.

If you’re in Perth – note this special!

On Friday the 10th Swancon is having a special cheap rate of $20 for a day pass. This is incredible value, and I urge you all to consider coming along. Not only is there Gynaecon right in the middle of everything, but there is also fantastic panels and workshops and discussions at Swancon. For more information on Swancon, please have a look at the website here.

There is also the Eleventh Down Under Feminists Carnival – up at Why I’m Bitter’s Weblog! Enjoy the read. :)

Even Minchin doesn’t have my appreciation for rational thinking feminists with Aussie accents. Meow! :) :)

Eh, I’ve been working on losing the accent for years… hasn’t really worked. :/
