[P2P-F] Fwd: [knowledgelab] Reminder: Monday eve: Café event on Gender and the Politics of Technology

Sun Sep 8 14:49:47 CEST 2013

All -

Sorry about the repeat email here, and I know P2P has had recent concerns and issues regarding email use and misuse etc, but can anyone explain that horrible "red" message below about the TEF website?  I have never seen that before and we certainly are a real and valid website, can someone explain to me why that would show up in the message -- is it to do with protections the P2P put in place?  And who is "us.mg201.yahoo.com"?  And worse, when I click on it I do indeed get a strange website or none, but clicking on the one below under my name goes to the real TEF website?

Can anyone explain this to me?  It would be nice to think the TEF has actually become "transformative" enough in its message of sustainable education to have interested the powers that be who don't want to do so, but that's a little grandiose? I don't understand this?

Love to hear from those who might?
Best,
June

Gail and all -

This is a very critical and important topic, both to me and the Transformative Education Forum (MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "us.mg201.mail.yahoo.com" claiming to be tef.globalchallengesforum.org), and as I have just moved to London (Marylebone) from California, I definitely plan to attend tomorrow evening.

Thanks for the notice.  A critical topic in technology in ways that really have to be understood to go forward "differently" with that technology as a truly primary positive or truly "transformative" force.

Looking forward to it,
June

Breaking the Frame 3: Gender and the Politics of 
Technology

In the 
home and at work, women and men have different relationships to 
technology.  Women have traditionally been excluded from science and 
engineering and are put in the role of users and operators of new 
technology.  Do technologies like IVF and domestic machinery really 
benefit women or entrench their existing social roles?  How do shifts 
in technology affect the oppression of women?

When: 
7pm September 9th 2013
Where: 
Fairly Square Bar & Cafe, 51 Red Lion St London WC1R 4PF

Introductions 
from: 
	* Cynthia  Cockburn, feminist activist and author of Machinery of Dominance, Gender  and Technology in the Making, and Brothers: Male Dominance and Technological  Change

	* David  King Human  Genetics Alert

	* Connie Hunter Women's Environmental  Network
For the full list of forthcoming events, see below or

The 
Breaking the Frame series: discussions on the politics of 
technology

Technology 
dominates our world, but many people think ‘its just a neutral tool’ or that 
technology equals progress. Although it does, of course, bring benefits, 
technology is largely designed and controlled by corporate, military and 
patriarchal elites to serve their interests and exert their power.  To 
prepare for a gathering next May, we are organising a series of monthly events 
to look at the technology politics of food, energy, work, war, the economy, 
health etc. Gender issues are part of our analysis from the beginning and 
are included in all of our meetings.  There will be speakers from 
campaigning groups and lots of time for discussion. 

July 8th Technology out of  control? Drones, killer robots and the arms trade 
August 12th Nuclear Power: Climate  Chiller or Silent Killer? 
September 9th Gender and the politics  of technology 
October 14th Economic crisis and  austerity: “It’s the technology, stupid” 
November 11th Food, GM and synthetic  biology
