Dec. 6th, 2009 09:56 pmDecember 6 Workshop or conference. Was there a conference or workshop you attended that was especially beneficial? Where was it? What did you learn?
I can't really answer this with all the specifics, because things that are academically identifying is stuff I usually keep locked and filtered...but I did go to a wonderful small conference two months ago, gave a paper as a part of a panel on resource extraction, and learned a lot of fascinating things about the gendering of gold vs. diamond mining, among other things.
Unrelated to this, I watched the latest two episodes of Dollhouse, and I just want to say that I love characters playing other characters because of things like body possession on Joss Whedon's show ( spoilers for Dollhouse 2.5 and 2.6 and Buffy season 4 )
