Dear FC, 

Just wanted to let you know about this event below. Anne will also be
participating at a roundtable I'm organising at Sydney Uni on the 15th
December with other international guests including Ros Gill, Vicki Mayer,
Leopoldina Fortunati, Lisa McLaughlin and Judy Wacjman. It's focused on
theories of technology, gender & labour... and there are some local
participants too.

Do get in touch if you would like to hear more.
