It's all lying in front of me, I just have to make sense of it.
For Tren I think I need to look at it from the computer side, pragmatic - Sherry Turkle etc.
Angela Calabrese Barton is in Journal of the Learning Sciences 19 (2010) on Agency, Identity and Science Learning and she contributed to the special edition of Feminism (marginalized discourses) and Pedagogy in Journal of Research in Science Teaching (1998) - so know now that there must be something to it all and that some "respectable" researchers are involved in it.
I think I need to drop DBR as the angle,  my assignment showed me it is not something I can really grasp. 
I do think I could include Barab's ethnology, beyond could think I SHOULD.
I want the space to understand what feminism is - not as a gender thing - but as a marginalised group and power thing and what its implications are for education and the transformations that are occurring in the business/work world although the latter will be a next step or a personal one.
Again a Blog entry NOT in the manner that LM would probably like to see, that brings up another issue could I write for Tren? Don't know the personality yet and one certainly writes for one's supervisor to an extent.

I think it is really important that feminism is revived in a manner that is more inclusive 

"In October of 2010, Fraternity pledges at Yale chanted as they marched across the campus. This is what they shouted:
My name is Jack
I’m a necrophiliac
I fuck dead women
And fill them with my semen
No means yes
Yes means anal
(repeated)
Fuck al-Qaeda
Fuck al-Qaeda
(repeated)
Fucking sluts
Fucking sluts
(repeated)
USA
USA"

Yale? 2010? 

Feminism needs to change its name, stand up, include any one that wants to look the existing power structure in its face, and in the true Mandela way NOT try and take over power but transform it. Can I facilitate that?
