An updated version of the forums at Gleebooks is below. The Research Office
newsletter which was just e-mailed to you was based on the 'Gleebooks
Gleaner' but one evening was double booked. I'd love anyone to copy this
blurb onto other e-mail list serves.

Gleebooks Forums
Social change and the new millenium
In the last two decades many of the verities of politics have been turned
on their head. The end of the Cold War has paralleled the rise of post
modern thinking. The experience of 13 years of Labor government has
disillusioned many. The definition of the political spectrum as a
'Left-Right division' is clearly much less relevant with social movement
which upset the boundaries of class, race, gender and which question
humanity's relationship to nature.
These two forums are a chance for those who want a thoughtful discussion of
issues facing the broad Left as it searches for a new role in the new
century. A small entry fee covers drinks before hand.
