Quirkyalone

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.
