[edit] Starting article

I like the information in the article, but it would be good to have more biographical information about her and her work. I'll have to do some research. I'd like to see more about her education, early experiences in broadcast, etc., but it's a good start. Calicocat 06:03, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] American? Well

She's a citizen i'm sure, but she was born in England and has a light accent. On her show she said she came to the states for college at age 19 and never left. One would think THAT would be a relevent peice of info, but it's missing here. Hey I just got an idea, why not contact her show and have her or one of her producers fill-in the blanks?

Interesting that somebody has already raised this question. Laura Flanders's grandfather, father, sister, and uncles were educated at Oxford, so I was rather expecting to find that she was as well, only to be informed that she is not even British. (Not, of course, that one has to be British to go to Oxford). Where in the United States did she receive her higher education, and is there any explanation about why she went to America and why she stayed there? (Does she, for example, have an American partner or other family, or was she offered a job in America straight from university? It is rare, though not unheard of, for British people to go abroad for undergraduate study.)--Oxonian2006 21:01, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
