I want to echo what other zoom participants have said. As someone who could not be there in person, I was very appreciative of the opportunity to attend remotely. I am very much aware of how difficult it is to do hybrid meetings and don't underestimate the amount of labor that was needed to do this so well. Thank you so much to the organizers for this!
And thank you to all participants for your careful feminist thinking around issues of self-care. Having heard way too much from university administrators and other neo-liberal thinkers about self-care in recent years, I confess to having approached this theme originally with some jadedness. But—as I have come to expect from FEAST—the conference took the discussion in much needed and richer directions. I am deeply grateful for what I learned from many of you this past weekend.
Finally, thank you to those who have kindly agreed to take on the tasks of organizing the conference going forward. I look forward to seeing many of you online and on zoom again and, I hope, in person in 2025!

############################Agreed. And while there’s no substitute for all the fabulousness of in-person FEAST, with such an amazing and life-giving conference planned (thank you, organizers, for the much needed theme!), I very much appreciated the opportunity to at least get a flavor of the discussions/conversations/debates/themes. The few sessions I did attend remotely supported and challenged me and my thinking, and helped me connect some dots in new and powerful ways, in true FEAST fashion.
Can’t wait for the publication and in the meantime, I have a whole roster of feminist ethicists’ work to dig into deeper…

I want to extend a special thank you to the organizers of the FEAST conference, and especially to Courtney Miller, who made it possible to attend the conference virtually. I attended many of the sessions through Zoom and got so much out of it. I am deeply impressed by how well you combined the in-person and Zoom components, and how you made it possible for Zoom participants to be full participants. Thank you so much for all the work you did to make this happen!
Thank you also to Shay for her fabulous leadership!
