My apologies for the quiet day over here. I’ve been scrambling to get ready for my trip this week — first stop, Iowa! For anyone in the vicinity, here’s where I’ll be, and what I’ll be talking about:
Dec 3 – Sisterhood, Interrupted: From Radical Women to Grrls Gone Wild
Grinnell College
JRC 101
7pm
Dec 4 – Sisterhood, Interrupted: From Radical Women to Grrls Gone Wild
Drake University
Bulldog Theater
7pm
Dec 5 – Workshop on Being an “Engaged Scholar”
Drake University
9-11am
I’m so excited to hang out with Astrid Henry (author of Not My Mother’s Sister: Generational Conflict and Third-Wave Feminism) and Renee Cramer (author of, among other things, “This Bridge Called Barack“), and the students and faculty at Drake and Grinnell. My grandfather hailed from Iowa, and I’ve never been there before, so I’m double excited to visit this land of that legendary caucus not so long ago… After Iowa, it’s sweet home Chicago for two days, where Marco and I are being feted with a post-wedding wedding celebration. Very sweet.
I’ll try to post from the road!

Have a great trip Debbie! I was just at Drake and it was really fun.

I love the Grinnell campus. Never took a course at Drake but I used to live not far from there in my first days in Des Moines and spent much time at The Varsity across the street catching the odd indie flick.
Have a good trip.
