I've been reading #YesAllWomen and related media cautiously--I'm the choir, and while it can be comforting to hear the preaching, it can also take an emotional toll. But this Slate headline--Men were surprised by #YesAllWomen because men don’t see what women experience--reminded me of a great online resource I stumbled across last weekend. Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has great,… Continue reading Feminist Epistemology and #YesAllWomen

Elsewhere on the Internet: Writing in Public

Reducing years of research and pages of explication into one sentence = academic comedy gold. I'm delighted by the premise as a book pusher, since… Continue reading Trolling Your Thesis
A few notes on academic book titles
For first-time authors: name your dissertation something plain and boring if you're planning to turn it into a book.

That may… Continue reading A few notes on academic book titles
