History Teaches . . . Fighting AI-Enabled Hyper-Inequality With Love? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gradually, for a long time, and now, it seems, all at once, the public conversation is all about Artificial Intelligence. The risks it poses to human creativity, even to our cognitive capacity, as well as our employability and the planet’s habitability (soil, water, energy), are the ubiquitous issues of the moment.

Welcome to those who have recently subscribed to this newsletter, and hello! to those who have been subscribers for a while but have not heard from me during the research- and writing-heavy summer.

My credibility here derives that I am trained as an historian of women of gender, and have taught The History of Feminism(s) (movements for women’s l
