I’ve been on the road this spring, speaking at Ohio University, Drake University, and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
Along with giving lectures on social change and readings from my newest book, Men and Feminism, I got the chance to meet so many people and to hear what they’re thinking about. That’s kinda my favorite part about traveling. At Drake University I hung out in the bleachers with some of the guys from the football team. We talked about sexual consent and I listened to their concerns about how to be strong allies in preventing sexual assault:
At the University of Illinois, I got to eat frozen yogurt and talk about all things pop culture. (Does the combo get better than that?)
And at Ohio University, I got to dish over dinner with students, staff and professors. Can I just say? Loved the conversation about fashion politics. (Photo coming asap.)
My thanks to the so-many amazing folks I’ve met for their graciousness, interest, and shared commitment to gender justice. And to those who came to hear me speak and are newer to the issues, I appreciate the forthright questions and honest inquiries. It’s what brings us together.
