I don't know that I ever announced this on the blog, but I'm off tomorrow to NYC for an event run by CUNY Feminist Press - last fall they named me one of 40 Young Feminist Writers under 40 whose work on food and environmental issues was changing the way people think about women's issues. I didn't make it to the October Gala for family reasons, but I'm excited to head downstate tomorrow and meet the other folks!
I admit, I'm excited that the context that I've been working to bring to connect our energy history to the way gender roles have changed has been noticed! I've won a bunch of awards over the years, but this one matters a great deal to me because I think that part of the story of women hasn't yet been told fully!

Okay, so I've been keeping this under my hat for the last six-eight months, scared of jinxing things, but it's becoming arduous to keep hiding, so I'm sharing.

The first two pieces of this series were largely comic pieces. This one is more serious. I have said this before, but I'll repeat it - I came to science blogs for one reason, and one only - because there was no one else talking about facing up to our material limits on this kind of site, with…
If you haven't seen this video by Richard Heinberg and the Post Carbon Institute, you should. In a lot of ways it is an excellent summary of the history of fossil fuels, entertainingly and creatively done. In some ways, it is extremely valuable as a basic educational piece.
I'm very impressed…

Hidee high, lowdy low, get up and go to the show.

Congrats!
Congrats, Sharon! It is, of course, very deserved.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
What a wonderful, well-deserved award, Sharon! As a former Women's Studies prof who is still connected to the academic community, it has been a pleasure to recommend your books and blogs to those interested. This spring our local university offered a Gender and Food class which I was invited to speak to and of course, I brought a copy of each of your books as recommended further reading.
Congratulations, indeed!
Super cool. And I'd have to agree with their assessment.
re: "I think that part of the story of women hasn't yet been told fully!"
A pretty amusing understatement there! :-)
Go get 'em. And watch out for tornadoes.
congratulations - well deserved. Just curious - who are the other 39?
IIRC, judging by your bio and previous remarks about your age, this has not come any too soon...
Congratulations Sharon, you have earned the recognition!
Hmmmp...Glenn, I've got 1 year and three and a half whole months before I reach 40, dammit ;-) ;-).
I can't find an internet link to the original list of award winners - I'll type them up if I have to, but I'm still looking.
Thanks for the congrats - it was a terrific event.
