Tanis Doe Online Memorial Chat - Wednesday, October 6, 2004

Tanis Doe, Ph.D. (and her pseudonym/alter Vicky D'aoust), who died on August 4, 2004, left behind many friends, colleagues, students, mentees, and admirers. She will be remembered for her innovative research (in which she used participatory action research to amplify the voices of people most directly affected by programs and policies); for her advocacy (speaking internationally about topics such as parenting with a disability, bioethics, disability and Deafness, and the value of diversity); for her inspired teaching (at the University of Victoria, Ryerson University, the University of Washington, and Royal Roads College, among others) -- but also for her brazen sense of humor, her creativity, her dancing, and her fondness for bumper stickers, sci-fi television, sunflowers and Snapple. People will have a chance to remember and share their experiences, thoughts and feelings about Tanis (a.k.a. Vicky) in one of her favorite environments -- cyberspace.

An online Tanis Doe memorial chat will be held on Wednesday, October 6, 2004, from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. PST (that's 3:00 to 8:00 MST; 4:00 to 9:00 CST; and 5:00 to 10:00 EST). The chat will take place in an Internet chat room using AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). To join the chat, send an instant message (IM), anytime during that time period, to TanisDoeMemChat, and ask to be invited in. Then you will get a message inviting you into the chat room to share stories and memories. You can
come and go at any time during the session. This will be an experiment in virtual community, of which Tanis would approve heartily! Bring your own Snapple. ;-)

If you don't have AIM, you can download it for free and get a screen name at http://www.aim.com Other software also supports AIM; you know it if you use it. :-)

If you have questions, email Laura@cripcommentary.com
