Hi all (and apologies for cross-posts you might receive), Sorry to fram you but... I know hardly anyone in the Boston area. I'm hoping members of this list might know more folks who'd be able to attend either of these events I'm doing this coming week...please circulate: Tuesday, February 9, 12:30 pm Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society presents (and I believe it's the first one they've sponsored on LGBT issues): Mary L. Gray "Beyond online/offline: Information access, public spaces, and the boundaries of visibility for queer youth in the rural US" http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2010/02/gray And (here's where the free party comes in): Wednesday, February 10, 6:30-9pm the Microsoft New England R&D Center, One Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA 02142 presents (also a first for them re: LGBT youth issues, I believe): A book talk with (yes, you guessed it) Mary L. Gray http://microsoftcambridge.com/Events/OutintheCountry/tabid/283/Default.aspx ______________________ Mary L.
