Next week (April 7 - 11) I’ll be stretching my brain and speaking on a number of fascinating topics such as:
Publishing a Book: Tales from the Trenches
Too Busy To Fall In Love
Why Young Voters Care Again
Feminism: The New F Word
Why We Write
The Power of Facebook
Things We Wish We’d Learned in College: A List Slam
It’s all part of the 60th-annual Conference of World Affairs at Colorado University in Boulder. This will be the second year that I participate. It’s an amazing community-intellectual event–super-stimulating and fun. All the events are free so if you happen to live nearby, or want to take an intellectual vacation, come join us.
Here’s how the CWA describes itself:
“The Conference on World Affairs was founded in 1948, originally as a forum on international affairs. CWA expanded rapidly to encompass the arts, media, science, diplomacy, technology, environment, spirituality, politics, business, medicine, human rights, and so on. Roger Ebert, who holds a record of thirty-seven consecutive years of participation in the CWA, refers to the event as “the Conference on Everything Conceivable.”
If you happen to live in Boulder or are visiting come say hi. Here’s the schedule of panels I’ll be on, and here’s info on the CWA in general.

Hi Sasha,
Kristi from Minneapolis here. If I show up at this thing, you won’t think I’m a stalker right?
I happen to have the weekend off and thought I’d head out and catch the last day of this thing …especially since there are a couple of other discussions besides yours that look interesting and it’s FREE!!!
