It will come as no surprise to anyone who reads my blog regularly that I chose "slow blogging" for my first OpenSpace session. I hadn't heard of the word used specifically before this, but I am much taken with the whole "slow" movement in general, and the Beauty Dialogues couldn't get any slower.
The conversation among our small group was intimate and pleasurable and full of good ideas for slowing down and deepening our own reflection, plus it brought out what may be one of the most intriguing connections I've made at this conference full of intriguing new connections.
One of the women at the table, Leslie Madsen-Brooks, who is a Contributing Editor at BlogHer and trains teachers at UC Davis, told me about another academic - Lecturer in Writing at Middlebury and Director of the Project for Integrated Expression, Barbara Ganley, who coined the term "slow blogging". Just reading one or two posts from her vital and highly visual blog I can tell she's of the master-kindred race & I'm so looking forward to hearing & seeing more of her.
