Latest revision as of 08:04, 2 September 2012

A weekly twitter chat (using the hashtag "#FeministSF" / see Tweetchat) that was established in May 2011 in response to the death of Joanna Russ. Future themes and topics may be listed here.

Chats take place on Sundays, at 11:00 Pacific, 14:00 Eastern, 19:00 UK*, etc., nominally for one hour (although people often keep chatting much longer).

(* except for the two weeks in Spring and Fall when Europe is 4 hours rather than 5 hours ahead of the US. In other words, the chat is at 18:00 GMT between April and October; 19:00 GMT November to March.)

The chat is seeking a permanent archive solution. In the meantime there is an Archivist, a GoogleDoc, and TAGSExplorer visualization.
