Hi Group Three! Apparently, I am your leader. :)

To get us started, I thought the simplest route would be to generate a post we could all comment on and to create a rough plan for the days ahead. Please read over what I've posted here and let me know if this will work for you. Once I've gotten feedback/buy-in from everyone, I'll post an actual plan for us. (Also, we can use the commenting feature on this post as a way of getting in touch with each other with general questions/updates over the course of the week.)

Hi all, typing this quick introduction on my phone while enjoying a hike. I'm glad this deadline was extended (and the email sent!) because I have been deep in a work-banned cocoon after finishing my last hectic semester of coursework and comps defense. I'm ABD in Rhetoric and Culture at Pitt with a doctoral certificate in the study of women, gender, and sexuality. My feminist work ranges from 19th century suffrage to representation in movies, television, and museums to masculinities in subcultures.

Hi, all...

Greetings from Chattanooga, Tennessee! I'm a cultural studies-oriented women's, gender, and sexuality studies practitioner who burned out going down with her ship in New Orelans in the aftermath of the Katrina event. During 1996-2010, I coordinated educational programs including instituting a feminist participatory media collaboratory (Sophielab) at the late Newcomb College Center for Research on Women of Tulane University.
