sometimesI wish conferences and convergences would stop scheduling people with similar shticks within the same time slots.
I'm sure I'm not alone in the sentiment that it would be nice to learn about the current research or organising efforts of comrades and colleagues with common interests.
Last year, I went to a mixed academic and community organising convergence in Ireland and all the people with Lived or Living Experience were scheduled at the same time, so no one could go to each others talks...it was kind of a disappointment.
