Why I’m a digital humanist: I believe in open access, free, peer revel viewed work in the academy (and beyond). My project for Hester Eisenstein’s Sociology of Gender class at CUNY, The Graduate Center is online here.

I will be editing this essay based on your feedback and comments. Portions of it will be highlighted in my thesis (2015).

Calling All Moms, Dads, Children, Monks and World Leaders

How will you ROCK the world in the new year? Will you be brave, bold, courageous and clear when  it comes to keeping our world clean, peaceful, kind, joyous and musical? We're here to remind you that together we can co-create a planet where respect and cooperation rule.

Let's support each other; neighbors, teachers, scholars, students, corporations, politicians, families, workers, farmers, plants and animals. Together with love and light we are STRONG!

The Museum Of Motherhood Pops Up

It's true - We have been working toward this successful evolution for almost 10 years!
The dream will become a reality this September when the Museum of Motherhood, or M.O.M., opens a pop-up space on the Upper East Side of New York City—which will includes exhibits, a performance space and teaching facilities. I am a mom to four, and my work is all about championing mothers. Oh yeah - I am the President and Founder of Mamapalooza, which produces large festivals across the country celebrating moms and was the guitarist and lead singer of a rock band called Housewives on Prozac. Thanks to NOW-NYC for the Susan B. Anthony Award in 2009.

I spoke spoke with Working Mother about the challenges of getting the museum off of the ground, what visitors can expect from the space and why it's about time mothers have a museum to call their own. Full Article.
