Welcome to Phoenix’s world-changing Salon
A portmanteau. A treasure trove. A time capsule. A poetry book. A diary. A photo album. Memories. Dreams. Wishes. Hopes. An open letter to an unsuspecting public. An intimate confession to close friends. A declaration of intent. A whisper of love. A personal record. An experiment in introspection. A performance space. A political rant. A wild yawp. Why do any of us publish our words and images online? Come, dream with me.Women and the International Political Economy
I didn't post last week's topic: it was military sexual slavery and dealt with Japanese comfort women and Bosnian rape camps and I didn't really need to discuss what I was doing. I used a tutorial technique called the jigsaw to get different groups to discuss aspects...
