long time, no see.

Hello everyone.
Just a quick note to apologise for being so remiss with this blog recently, if nothing else, not having had a computer for the last 6 weeks (about a dozen different trans people i know had their lap-tops pack in in the space of three weeks, what on earth?!) has made it pretty tricky for me to update. I'm also still job-hunting, and have been spending quite a lot of time in my doctors' surgery.

NUS LGBT Committee Training went well, despite the heat, and I think I can speak for both of us in saying that we're excited to be working with such a committed, imaginative and diverse group of people for the next year. I for one am interested in making my theory practice, and working more on inter-relationships and intersections between different identities and different experiences, I hope to continue to work with Elis Stephenson on the workshop we started creating about 'accessibility' as relating to both trans and disabled people (as well as many others). We promise to keep you better updated.

The summer is generally quite a quiet time, though, except for things like Prides (which, unfortunately, I've not managed to make it to any of this year :( ), so things are likely to pick up come September. Frank and I are speaking at a couple of different conferences, I'm presenting information about the NUS LGBT at the Trans Community Conference (go to: http://www.genderedintelligence.co.uk for more info) and Frank will be speaking at a conference run by the Forum, who I've previously done work with. You can also request committee members for your start-of-year events, get in touch with lgbt@nus.org.uk.

I'll be putting out a couple of posts about various things that are going on at the moment over the coming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled.

H.
