(This is for the recast of that paper.) On the question of the interaction of academia and activism: In my case, activism has been a parallel life that takes time away from academic work. It is a sacrifice I have accepted, although not with the peace Brittany Letiecq says she has. (I also have much … More The parallel lives approach
I woke up this morning thinking about how my colleagues are measuring out their lives in coffee-spoons and are happy with this, while I always wanted to be involved in a large project of revolutionary love. That is the difference between me and the faculty and I saw it in my first job, where everyone … More Adventure Quest

My notes on her talk were: So I think this is where I could start the rewriting of my prison essay. In the meantime The Nation, … More Emmelheinz
This is one of the ancient photocopies I have, that I would not hang onto if I were at a university with library holdings. Magnarelli’s The Lost Rib is a good book, although dated now. And I am too lazy to summarize the preface and explain the premise, and there are reviews you can look … More Magnarelli on MARIA
