What to blog about

Hi everyone,

I am going to Noumea for a Pacific Women’s conference in 2 wks time. I thought I’d use it as an opportunity to talk about some feminist issues that come out of the discussions.  It would be good to use the context of the current budget (NZ aid to Pacific has just increased by quite a bit)to make it ‘newsworthy’. I’m also going to Solomons in June, so should come back with some more material.  There are lots of feminist issues of global relevance that are bing played out in Melanesia (well, of course) so it should be interesting.Â

On the subject of columns - hot topics seems to cover a lot. If we wanted to, we could even split this into more specific columns. One suggestion would be themes, like current isssues around work and economics, enviroment etc. But this might get hard to keep up and the separation sometimes ends up being false.Â

Some green handy hints would be great, I’ll try to come up with some if you like.Â

    Megan, Hi!

    Great, good on you for getting us going. Wouldn’t it be great if you reported daily from Noumea and Solomons (less possible?). It’d be fun to check in with you and could provide a good way for you to reflect and analyse as you do about your research/advocacy.

    Have you and Fleur thought up a title for your blog/column?

    I like your idea of “green handy hints” – how about we call it “eco-friendly handy hints” that way we give ecofeminism a revival on our blog.

    Hi, Thanks for your comments Jacqui. I like the idea of reporting daily on the conference and whenever I can from Solomon Islands. Fleur and I are thinking of a title, but haven’t come up with anything catchy enough yet. We would like to play on words a bit, but it needs to be a respnsible heading as well. I also think ‘eco friendly hints’ is a good approach.
