On Be-ing and sitting w/ a Dalyan scholar
I have been enjoying Mary Daly’s The Church & The Second Sex. It has raised several questions in my mind: What is sex? Why recover ontology? What is PostChristian thought, exactly? I’m sitting with these three questions, and hope that we will discuss them this coming week in our Ethics reading group. For now, though, [...]

When the "Academy" betrays you
I have lived most of my “adult” life in the academy. I have pursued higher education to its fullest: bachelor’s degree, graduate school, and now the Ph.D. I have come to love the rigor of the academy and hate the violence of the academy. I learned early on that my presence in the academy is [...]
FEG reflections
I have thought many times about blogging concerning FEG (Feminist Epistemology Group), but I have not. Each Monday I have incredible insights with this group, mostly comprised of feminist, queer, and people of color–women, specifically. We have been meeting for two hours each Monday to discuss our readings, which always expand into our projects (our [...]
