[Discussion] remote participation from women's or gender historians

[Sule Tarakcioglu]

We invite remote participation from women's or gender historians for a
session on "Crossing Geography, Culture, and Time with Technology:
Engaging in Women's and Gender History @ the Turn of the 21st Century,"
a hands-on technology presentation at the 13th Berkshire Conference on
the History of Women.

Remote historians will not physically attend the conference; they will
join the session live via computer with Macromedia's Breeze conferencing
system. The session will take place on Friday June 2, 2005.

Preferences for remote presenters:

    * participants who use technology to enhance teaching, learning,
      and/or research in creative and/or innovative ways that can be
      demonstrated to the session audience by sharing their computer
      desktop;
    * that global histories and not just US history be addressed through
      examples or specialist historians involved;
    * participants with access to a high-speed Internet connection, and
      to an inexpensive video camera that can be connected to their
      computer.

of the videoconferencing portion of this session, a description of
Breeze's state-of-the-art video communications software and what is
needed for remote participation, an abstract of the full session,
