I’m getting ready to leave town, flying out to New York on a red-eye tonight. I’ll be on the east coast all next week for a variety of reasons both spiritual and academic; a week hence, I’m the guest speaker at Brown University’s “Consent Day”. The event is open only to the Brown community, and I’ll be speaking on “Negotiating Consent and Myths of Male Weakness”. I’m also planning to do a workshop with a male-only group after my talk.
It should be noted that I am available to give this presentation elsewhere; it’s gone very well in the past and I have high hopes for next week in Providence. If you’re a college or university looking for a guest speaker to talk about men and feminism or issues around consent, I’d love to chat about the possibilities. Email me at hbschwyzer@gmail.com
In any case, this means that posting will be light to non-existent over the next ten days or so, though some reflections on the Brown event will certainly be forthcoming.
Have a safe, enjoyable, and productive trip, Hugo. Hope that the East Coast is nice this time of year.
