You will be wanting to read my excellent essay, 'Suzy the Computer' vs. 'Dr. Sexy': What's a Geek Girl to Do When She Wants to Get Laid? in She's Such a Geek! Women Write About Science, Technology, and Other Nerdy Stuff.

If you have not yet figured out why you shoud not be using terms like "hard science" and "soft skills", then you absolutely need to read Telling Stories About Engineering: Group Dynamics and Resistance to Diversity in NWSA Journal v. 16 No. 1, 2004 (Re)Gendering Science Fields.

You should also read They Blinded Me With Science: Misuse and Misunderstanding of Biological Theory, an excellent critique of Thornhill and Palmer's nonsense about rape as an evolutionary strategy. You can find it in Burack and Josephson's must-read tome, Fundamental Differences: Feminists Talk Back to Social Conservatives.

Limping Into 2007

Category: Miscellaneous
Posted on: January 7, 2007 9:04 PM, by Zuska

Happy New Year to everyone, and long overdue holiday greetings and all that to all the Zuskateers out there. I didn't intend to be away from the blog for so long, but life has interfered. Same old story: migraines, illness, family health issues. A wicked cold before Christmas that just wouldn't go away...though, you know, when I have a head cold, I don't get migraines. Ever. Anybody else out there experience the same phenomenon? When I suffer from allergies I still get migraines, but not when I have headcolds. Anyway, once the cold was gone the migraines came back. Then mom got sick, and went in the hospital; now she's home, and needs someone with her. That would be me, migraines and all. None of any of this is conducive to blogging.

So, it's not a gung-ho start to 2007. My new year's wish for all the Zuskateers is that you are beginning the year in good health and happiness.

See you around...sometime soon.

Sorry to hear about the hassles. Hope you and yours feel better soon!

Let's hope this is just an instance of getting some of the health-related crud out of the way at the start of the year to free up the rest for other things. (And I'm really hoping you'll be good to go for SBC 2007 in a couple weeks!)

so sorry you've been indisposed. in case you haven't seen the article below in 'inside higher ed', it's interesting, as are the comments -- which are almost coherent. almost a discussion. or something. about gender and the blogosphere.
