FEMINISTS IN BOSTON THIS WEEKEND, COME SAY HI!

HI! Before I forget: don’t forget to come holler at me & Marisa & Kara and Farai Chideya (!) et al at the Center for New Words’ Women, Action and Media Conference: Making Noise, Making Change at MIT in Cambridge! Marisa and the ILLUSTRIOUS Rebecca Davis and I will be on the Beyond Bust and Bitch: Feminists in the Mainstream Media. I think I will be addressing such topics as: how the pre-sale Spin was one of the most feminist-friendly publications I’ve ever worked for (word life to Pappademas, Michel, Aaron, Dolan, Ganz and Maerz), and when you are not a white man and you write about issues/critique art pertinent to non-white non-men, you can sometimes be perceived as “Having A Bias.” Or maybe we’ll just wing it. I’m very excited for this conference, and extraordinarily proud to be a part of it–really looking forward to all the other panels, particularly:
Covering Women and War
Beyond Security Moms: Getting Women Heard in Midterm Election Coverage
Radical Words: Intersections Between Activism and Publishing
Women, Work & Wages: Covering Poverty, Discrimination and Women’s Work in America
More Than Shadows and Whispers: Hip Hop Feminists Battle Sexism, Harassment, and Violence
OBVIOUSLY YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS IT
