More mark-your-calendar info...

While you're filling in those fresh new 2006 calendars, mark this one down too:
The Women's Studies Seminars at the Huntington Library present:

Women, Disability, and the Arts

10am-12noon (lunch to follow)
Huntington Library, San Marino CA

Featuring:
*Victoria Ann Lewis, Assistant Professor, Department of Theatre Arts
University of Redlands
"The Theatrical Landscape of Disability: Domestic vs. Transcendent Geographies"

So, if you're in the Los Angeles area in late February (and really, there are few better places to be that time of year, climate-wise), come out to the Huntington Library in San Marino for a morning of presentations from three great disability scholars. The event is free-to-the-public, fully accessible, and if you say you read about it here, I'll buy you a coffee. (Offer limited to the first two DS,TU readers to claim it.)
