One additional note: I had
not shared the article with friends, as I often do, but when Gregg’s post came
through about him speaking at Mary Washington I shared with my daughter, who
just graduated from Mary Washington and who works there, about the Sartre event
and she wrote back that that was awesome about the event and then added “and
that article looks amazing”. I am guessing that the article struck her in a
similar way that it struck me. Thank you Jason, Gregg, and others for this
discussion and the invitation to write a response. Patrice

Steve Quackenbush and I are headed to a conference on Sartre this weekend at Mary Washington University. George Yancy will be giving the keynote. He has written quite a bit on racism in the US. He just wrote an op ed piece explaining why he thinks all men, including himself, are sexist: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/24/opinion/men-sexism-me-too.html. I will be interested to hear him speak (which will be more focused on racism than sexism, I think). Perhaps I will get a chance to chat with him. Would be curious to see if others have reactions to this.
When these kinds of conversations emerge, I like to bring them close to home, into the here and now. For example, in bringing this up, I can’t help but reflect on noticing how male dominated this list is, at least in terms of participation. We are fairly equivalent in terms of actual numbers (~35 of each gender). Yet, my sense is that 95% or more of the posts have been made by men. This is the pattern of virtually every other list serve I have been on (i.e., heavily male dominated, much more than the ratio of folks on the list). Interesting food for thought.
I will be heading out and back Monday.
Best,
Gregg
