Blog News

It’s an exciting time here at FemAcadem. We’re very excited to announce that alongside new guest blogger Louise, two permanent bloggers have just joined the team- Melazka and Dorrie. We’re really excited to welcome them both and I for one am just so pleased they’ve agreed to join. We are hoping that now between the 5 of us we will be able to bring you at least one blog post a day, alongside extra commentary on news and so on.

I’ll be posting more formal introductions up to Melazka and Dorrie tonight but for now please wlecome them, and enjoy the first posts from them!

Right, after some technical issues, and some personal issues, I’m pleased to announce the FemAcadem team is getting back into the saddle! We are quite busy here at FA HQ- Andie and I are now in the Third Year of our degree’s and so we’re worrying about dissertations and post grad places and so on, Lovely Admin and myself are having a baby and getting married and so it’s all go.

We are however pleased to announce that tonight we attended the inaguaral meeting of Oxford Feminist Network, and it looks like some really exciting Feminist Action will be kicking off soon, in and around Oxford. If you want to get involved then do please look us up on Facebook or Yahoo (or indeed both) and please feel free to come along to the next meeting which is the 27th January 2010 at 6.30pm at Ruskin College, Walton Street. This is an open meeting, and all feminist minded people are welcome, including trans people.

We’re also positively thrilled to be welcoming a Guest Blogger in the shape of the lovely and talented Louise Livesey. She’ll be joining us for a while, and as those of you who have come across her in the Blogsphere will know, she blogs superbly about just about everything! So do all make her feel really welcome.

As ever, we’re always on the look out for new bloggers, and guest bloggers, so if you’re interested in filling either of those roles or if you see something you particularly want blogged about drop us a line at suzi@femacadem.net

Hello!

Despite our months of silence FemAcadem is STILL going- it’s just that we’ve been very busy doing end of year fieldwork and such, and so, have had limited time to do anything other than  in gurgling heaps.  As Andie and myself are both students and parents, and I also have a job to boot occasionally our blog schedule gets put on the back burner while we deal with the obstacles and deadlines that life throws at us, especially in the end of term.

We’re on our summer break now, so we’re hoping to be getting back in the saddle over the next few weeks, and hopefully we’ll be introducing a new blogger or two over Summer.

Things may be a leeeetle quiet here, as I’m guest blogging over at The F Word for the rest of the month. I will still be blogging here along with Andie and Matt. As we are all on our Easter Holidays however, things may get a little quiet!!

Coming soon………. my response to a recent channel 4 programme (once I’ve stopped being cross!)

Our new blogger Matt_Freeman!

I would give you a big introduction about Matt, but he has done one himself, so I’ll let him introduce himself. The only other thing I will add is that he is awesome, and the FemAcadem team are just unbelivably pleased to be bringing him onboard.
