Upcoming WAND event - Monday 13th January!
Join us on Monday 13th of January at the Quiet Space in Poundbury from 6:30pm. We’d love you to join us for a bring & share supper and to work with us on planning an activity for International Women’s Day 2020. The event is part “social” and part “serious” – we’re looking forward to getting to know more of our supporters, and planning an activity for International Women's Day is a great opportunity to do that.
The activity is planned in partnership with Dorchester Feminist Group, who will be joining us at the Quiet Space. On IWD we would like to focus on asking the women of Dorchester about their needs, what’s important to them and how their lives could be improved. This information will be used to feed into WAND’s future activities, and we’d love you to be involved too.
If you are planning on joining us for the supper, please bring with you a dish of your choice to share with others. Please don't feel you have to spend a lot of time preparing something – it can be as simple as some dips, crisps, tangerines or biscuits! For reasons around dietary requirements and allergies, please could you label anything homemade with the ingredients, and bring along packaging if it’s something shop bought.
Hope to see you there!

Subject: [spais-grc] Feminist journals meeting - London 15 Jan
I am on the editorial collective of Feminist Review and we are planning a London-based meeting with other feminist journals to discuss how to build alliances and responses to the steady marginalisation and pressures (financial, gold open access etc) on feminist journals by the publishers. Meeting is scheduled to take place at SOAS on 15 Jan. This is to alert you about the meeting and check whether you (or anyone else you know) is on the editorial board of a feminist journals in case you want to join the meeting. Email me for more info.
Thanks,
Rutvica
