Re: [xmca] [Fwd: Conference Query]

I sent a message to XMCA this morning that doesn't seem to have gone
through, so I will try again.

I am pretty desperately trying to find out who is speaking when, at ISCAR. I
am confused about why it's so hard. In good faith, I accepted an invitation
to speak at ISCAR a while ago. The session I am speaking in is an Invited
Symposium on Thursday afternoon entitled something like, Technology and
Diversity.
To this day, no names of presenters in the Invited Symposia appear on the
website Program page. That discourages me as a speaker. But I also, of
course, want to know who else is speaking, and I am highly computer
literate, and I have made a great deal of inquiries, and had no success
getting answers.

Today, an Itinerary has appeared on the ISCAR website. Again, no names
appear, except for keynotes. I don't need sociocultural theory to explain
invisibility.

Actually, I just want to know who is speaking in all those sessions that are
not keynote sessions. And there are not that many of them. And the
conference is next week.

Can anyone tell me, for Thursday and Friday, what is on the Program, where
and when? I will be very grateful, as I am taking time away from my very
busy department and I would dearly love to make this time valuable.

Thanks so very much,

Mary
