Just a reminder to our new members but also older members. Please send us your reading resources and a bio to introduce yourself to the list. So far it has been fascinating to see the common themes but also the diversity of research being done. <br>
Best. Renate<br>
<br>
For the last two weeks of January, 2021 we launch an open call to our members. "What’s on your bookshelf in 2021?" Share a list of the books, online publications and other resources (digital or otherwise) that are on your bookshelf this year. If you are a writer, artist, curator or technologist what has been influencing your own research and production? Do you have a new publication? Please share these titles, publication information and links as well. <br>
<br>
Please post your biography at the end of your post to introduce yourself to the listserv.<br>
<br>
PUT YOUR NAME IN THE SUBJECT HEADING for identification. <br>
<br>
Just as a reminder all posts go through a moderation site. We ensure that no spam or advertisements are sent through to our members’ Inboxes. <br>
<br>
We've all come to marvel at the diverse nature of our monthly topics. What has been most fascinating for us is to consider the power of <br>
this online forum and how the rhizomatic flow between our subscribers¹<br>
research and projects directly imprint upon the ebb and flow of our global<br>
identity. That flow can be reviewed through our ¬empyre archive generously hosted by<br>
the University of New South Wales since 2002.<br>

Our ¬empyre website is hosted by Cornell University<br>

<br>
Over the next few months our website will be updated. <br>
<br>
We also extend a general invitation to any of our subscribers who would like to host a discussion topic over the months of 2021. We can assist your through the process of hosting a monthly topic. Please contact Renate Ferro at rferro at <a href="http://cornell.edu" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">cornell.edu</a>. <br>

Happy New Year and please stay safe. <br>
