[UbuntuWomen] Academic resources for Sierra's experience

[t u]

Hi,

I received this attached (below) message from another mailing list of
U.S. Women's Studies instructors... I thought, since we are much more
tech-savvy/aware than the average WMST instructor, there might be
someone here who knows of resources that this message is asking for. If
you know of any, please contact the poster (not me) in person. Her email
address is at the end og the message.

Also, maybe you could also forward this to LinuxChix. One nice thing
about this kind of message is that, once the person asking the question
gets an answer, she posts it to that mailing list, hence making it much
easier for others to teach that issue in their own classes.

Thanks a lot :)
