Lilia .... I'm going to BlogHer too :).

Nancy's shared her (and our) thoughts on the panel discussion at her post - Blogher Panel: When Globalization is Good for Women.

On July 30th I'll be moderating a panel with a quartet of amazing women. I wanted to share a bit in advance about the group. Here are some of our working thoughts, with more to come. Chime in!

Shrink your world; amplify your voice. Nancy White leads a discussion with Anna John, Dina Mehta, Noriko Takiguchi, and Beverly Trayner on blogs and womens voices from around the world.

What will we talk about? We're thinking about how blogging expresses our culture(es), how it represents our place in the world. What are our voices? Our languages? And who is listening to us? Dina, Bev, Anna and Noriko will give us a glimpse into their lives and the lives of women they know and the impact blogging has had on them.   [Nancy White - Full Circle Online Interaction Blog]

I'm really looking forward to this discussion and to meeting so many others at the conference - Lilia's going - so we finally get to meet after so many years of 'knowing' each other, there's Judith and danah who are like old friends, and Nancy, who I admire as one of the leading voices in online communities and who has been just fantastic in managing to swing (along with the BlogHer team) a sponsorship for me.  And Susan Mernit, Amy Gahran, Lisa Stone - who's blogs I follow ... and so many others I would love to meet.
