Hello dear subscribers,
Thank you so much for the warm response to my latest piece on Pride, and for generally being so supportive of my writing here. I really value having this space in which to speak my mind, and I also value you.
Tomorrow I’m off to Texas for a week, to do some teaching for a new university focused on free expression, the University of Austin Texas (you can read more about this venture here). I’ll be doing a philosophy mini-course on varieties of feminism - from liberal to radical to post-structuralist to intersectional to post-liberal - and there will be lots of controversies for students to explore. I’m looking forward to doing some teaching again - it’s been a while. And I’m sure I will be writing about this experience later.
Madly prepping for this trip means I’m slightly behind on my writing schedule, though I hope to have something substantial for you soon. Many apologies for the delay. In the meantime I thought I’d draw your attention to some other writing I’ve done lately, for other outlets, which you also might enjoy. Most of these are from UnHerd where I am also a columnist, but a couple are from elsewhere.
