This month is a double hitter for me: I’ve got bits in the current issues of Ms. and Psychology Today.<\/p>\nThis month is a double hitter for me: I’ve got bits in the current issues of Ms. and Psychology Today.<\/p>\n
The Spring 2009 issue of Ms.<\/a>— just about to hit the newsstands if not already there– features an article I wrote on the history and funding of women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s studies programs for the special Ms. \u00e2\u20ac\u01532009 Guide to Women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Studies.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0 The first in a planned annual series, the guide\u00e2\u20ac\u201ddone in collaboration with the National Women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Studies Association\u00e2\u20ac\u201dprovides details on 196 undergraduate and 47 post-graduate women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s studies programs, with data on additional undergraduate programs here<\/a> and here<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Very cool tool for promoting women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s studies as a college major.\u00c2\u00a0 And the best part was that I had another reason to call up Mariam Chamberlain, founding president of the National Council for Research on Women, who was at the Ford Foundation when women’s studies began. Mariam–who just celebrated her 91st birthday, in great style–was responsible for funding women’s studies research from the get go, and for many reasons, I owe her a ton.<\/p>\n The June 2009 issue of Psychology Today<\/a> has a bit not by me, but, well, about me.\u00c2\u00a0 Or rather, about Marco and me.\u00c2\u00a0 Seems we’re fast becoming the postercouple for laidoff men and breadwinning wives.\u00c2\u00a0 Ok, I know, I started it by writing about it at Recessionwire<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 But we just said “no” to a very nice invitation to appear on one of the national morning shows, because we’re feeling a little reticent.\u00c2\u00a0 I mean, I’m all for going on tv to speak as “the expert,” but we’re starting to feel like a human interest story, and well, that’s just not in our interest, if you know what I mean.\u00c2\u00a0 (But thanks for the interest, morning show!\u00c2\u00a0 And I’m still happy to come on as an expert on gender and recession over there!)<\/p>\n The funniest part of it all, however, was that I had forgotten I’d done this interview and photoshoot for Psychology Today (magazine lead time is generally 3 months, so it took place in the winter).\u00c2\u00a0 I was reminded on the airplane, while sitting next to Courtney Martin on our way down to Atlanta last week.<\/p>\n I was reading (this is embarrassing) Star, and Courtney was reading Psychology Today.\u00c2\u00a0 I was just saying how fed up I was getting with Star (I’m a glutton for punishment) when Courtney shouted something like “Hey, it’s you!”\u00c2\u00a0 And there I was, photographed with Marco in a full page spread with a little blurb about our situation.<\/p>\n I think I shouted “Get! Out!” just as everyone got quiet for takeoff.\u00c2\u00a0 Ah well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This month is a double hitter for me: I’ve got bits in the current issues of Ms. and Psychology Today.
