Friends (even though you don't know me):
Red-faced, I sent this to the OSList by mistake instead of to my daughter
and
son-in-law (I know, this kind of mistake has never happened before, and
further, no
one has ever died of embarrassment, s/he only thinks s/he will). So, still
somewhat
embarrassed, apologies. Oh well, ... I also sent it to colleagues and
fellow-students at the Institute of Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George
Mason
University (northern Virginia, US) - there are many who are keenly concerned
with
and involved with Central and South America.
As a reader of the listserv, but so far neither a practicioner nor a
trained OS
facilitator (though with background in training in other areas), I've
appreciated
being a reader ("lurker" sounds much too ominous!), and am very much interested
in
the possibility of utilizing OST around diversity and racism issues on campus.
Building the legitimatizing platform from which to do this is the somewhat slow
process. This is just to let you know that at least one silent member is still
gaining much from your thinking and conversations. Thank you to all.
