Independence, Issue 40 (Spring 2007)
LASIG Newsletter
| From the Editor In
this celebratory edition (see Carol Everhard’s message for why!) we
investigate the early years of the SIG, and reproduce the entire first
(four-page) issue of Independence, as well as an article by Marion
Geddes originally written to commemorate the SIG’s tenth anniversary
in 1996. Bringing us up to date, there’s also a report on last year’s
JALT Conference by Jo Mynard, a number of interesting pieces by
esteemed contemporary worm keepers, and regular features including
‘Self-access around the world’, ‘Learning matters’ (featuring a sheep
– and a bear), another ‘Autonomy: My Story’, and news of
upcoming publications and events. Please send me
your own contributions, queries, comments, news and reminiscences for
the next, summer edition (deadline for copy June 15th), which will
continue to combine the best of the old with the newest of the new!
