The most vital argument for theater on offer: Richard Nelson's profoundly affecting "When the Hurlyburly's Done" brings six Ukrainian actresses to the Public in a work about putting on a play in the war-torn Ukraine of the 1920s. It was created in the war-torn Kyiv of today.

Completely at a loss. I'm deeply humbled by this honor and all the incredibly kind support, and will strive to prove worthy of them both.

Women's empowerment does not always equal instant progress, as it can result in backlash. Rapid advancements in women’s professional standing were found to exacerbate gender bias in entrepreneurial bank finance: more loan rejections & higher interest rates.hbr.org/2024/04/research-how…

Editorial: The Bears have yet to say why they need the lakefront. Why even think of saying yes without that? chicagotribune.com/2024/04/0…

Study (N=163) finds women professors did 75% of internal service work; men 25%. Women viewed it as compliance or an investment; men dodged with evasiveness or used barter. Yet men did 50% of external service work. @mikmeyer

"We don't have enough hands on this, and we would like your help" is a trap to compel women to do "unnecessary work"--tasks that do not make sense or could have been avoided or carried out with less effort if things were organized more efficiently.

No age is the right age to be a woman leader. Dr. Rachel Pruchno had brought in more grants ($6M) than any other scholar in Rowan Univ history & published 125 articles I'm top journals. Yet she was demoted with a 30% pay cut at age 68.

@Suntimes editorial. The lakefront needs help. But “that the Bears can just diesel their way in, Bronko Nagurski-style, and attempt to set a sweeping agenda for the future of one of the world’s most iconic water frontages is more than a bit troubling.”

My piece today in @theatlantic is the product of five months of work, dozens of hours of interviews, and a lot of personal anguish. It tells the story of a campus consumed in unique fashion by bigotry, of reasonable students enabling rancor. Take a read!
