  • Thank you very much for your invitation to speak/present at your event. Since I presented my proposals my situation has changed and I unfortunately have to withdraw my proposal to present. I was very much looking forward to your event and so I apologize if this creates any problems for the organizers.

    Here you can find a short distillation of the ideas i wished to include in my presentation.

    I have sent a more detailed e-mail to the organisers to inform them of this situation. All apologies and i wish you a successful event with many participants.

  • Thanks for this--I just downloaded the archive.org pdf of the book.  I"m guessing that this plays into the progressive era views of this age.  Will also look up what Gatto had to say!
