I’ll be wine-and-cheesing it like a true East Coast elite at my friend’s pad in Brooklyn (we’ll probably even use old editions of The New Yorker for coasters) while I live-blog with you all. Whatever you’re doing, I hope you have some booze, because the Feministe team has got a game for you. Add your [...]

You know when the New York Times describes you as “a prodigious filer of law suits,” it’s only going to go downhill** — especially when the caption to your picture is “Andy Martin is known for filing many lawsuits.” His mother must be proud. [Anyone for a game of "Is it real news or is [...]

This sounds like an interesting project: Spanning the humanities and social sciences and with contributions from across the spectrum of historical time periods and cultures, this year-long colloquium seeks to probe and investigate components of masculinity through the lens of contemporary academia, to formulate and hopefully answer questions of what it might mean to be [...]
