Renate responded. Thanks Ana! How small our world is. My
apologies for<br>
responding so late but I have been so overwhelmed since I
arrived back in<br>
town from NYC where the College Art Association was held.
Have you had<br>
any other sightings of Stephanie Wuschitz. I know she was
writing her PHD<br>
thesis on women and technology. The cultural nuances in
relation to<br>
digital culture is one that we do need to consider and
reflect on a bit<br>
more.<br>
Thank you so much for sharing these recollections with us
especially in<br>
our current political climate.<br>

Stefanie was a participant as well of our workshop in
Damascus Syria<br>
together with Palestinian girls using games as narrative
of the diaspora<br>
and trying to empower them to play a more active role in
the society.<br>
Syria was at that time a rather secularists society where
women had<br>
possibilities to study and work. The Sharia laws were not
applicable and<br>
both Christian and Moslem communities lived side by side,
such different<br>
than today's sectarism.<br>
