I find it flabergasting that a non-profit Institute cannot advertise a workshop on this list that could benefit people in the developing sector. Are you not becoming a little exclusionary? I for one do not object to this, how else is any one to get the work out. Come on get real! If you are going to exclude legitimate events that are educational and help to build social change - then why have this list - is it just for academics?
