[-empyre-] Closing down June from Paris

[Asha Tamirisa]

Dear Renate and Tim,
Thank you for inviting us to moderate this week, and a huge thank you to
Monisola, Lyn, Rachel, and Caroline for offering such incredible insights--
it's been a pleasure to connect over these ideas and I hope we continue to
flesh out the ideas we have put forward. I would love to see more
discussion on feminism and technology on empyre and look forward to
participating in discussions on these topics in the future!

All best,

My travels have prevented me from having the internet access I needed to participate fully but I do have so many questions for you that extend beyond the practice of making but imply more political implications.  I would love to spend more time in nurturing topics relating to feminism and technology.  I mentioned that a couple of weeks ago I attended the FemTechNet workshop at the New School.  An international discussion involving feminist technologies would interest me and I know many of our guests so if anyone is willing to co-moderate a month with me in the future let me know as well.
