in Johannesburg and Baltimore, in which I explore how women’s service labour contributes to ‘building’ racialised urban space. My larger work is on retail and service in Johannesburg, which I actually fits quite nicely within several of the themes identified.

and 40-some people. It seemed like we'd settled on a travelers-get-dibs principle, but now it appears that this principle doesn't work... or perhaps it's just that to make it work, we need to begin much further in advance. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
Please find the latest version of the proposal for next year's workshop on urban issues attached. We are still trying to determine dates, with May seeming the be what people are gravitating towards. June and July have come up as possibilities, but these would
be extremely difficult for many people on the South African side, and so don't seem to viable except as last resorts. Please would anyone who has a preference send a message to the list. The proposal is still open to some revision if there is an issue that
people feel has been left unaddressed. <br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
