Would men need to provide a marriage certificate to vote? No? Just women? Got it.

Before @thebsls.bsky.social conference comes to a close, browse an array of @eileenmhunt.bsky.social 's works, standing at the forefront of the scholarly intersection of Science and Literature 📚 buff.ly/mjLMzFv @pennpress.bsky.social

Stay strong State of Maine…for as Maine goes, so goes the nation. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

My heroine! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

libguides.library.nd.edu/c.php?g=1454... Proud of this site being built by Notre Dame's Hesburgh Library for my NEH Scholarly Editions Project on Wollstonecraft's 'Vindications' (with Nancy E. Johnson) and my ND Democracy Initiative research lab on 'Wollstonecraft, Democracy, and Human Rights'!

Repurposing of “death master list” of SSA to force self-deportation of immigrants is the most dystopian policy of the TRump administration yet. See 1984, Minority Report for the speculative fiction backstory for this all too real political nightmare. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

The White House. The actual White House. This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

HANDS OFF restricting married women's voting rights. The SAVE Act will make it harder for married women to register to vote if they did what was expected and took their husband's surname when they got married. #handsoff

“Mommy, no. Mommy.” Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody. The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...

Statement on the Academic Freedom and Independence of U.S. Institutions of Higher Education The American Political Science Association (APSA) is deeply concerned by recent attacks on the independence of colleges and universities in the United States. Over the past few weeks, there have been…

The National Endowment for the Humanities is an essential force for good. Rare Book School affirms the vital importance of @nehgov.bsky.social in supporting programs and grants that enrich the cultural understandings of our citizens, our communities, and our nation.

Nessie spotted in the St Joe river, South Bend, IN!

17 hrs sleep so far this weekend. 8 mile run at 10 min pace. Follow instructions on Pilates app every day. Closing in on finishing my first pass at editing Wollstonecraft’s VRM. #MomOnSpringBreak #Goals!

Long live the federal resistance! (My grandfather was a Allied veteran of every major battle in the WWII European theater except Normandy, and then went home to the GI Bill and a career in the USPS) www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/o...

Yes, we can! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/u...

Another adaptation of Wuthering Heights coming our way. The extraordinary creative imagination behind this relentlessly dark novel is IMHO far more interesting than the novel itself, which is why Frances O’Connor’s semi-fictionalised Emily(2022) is so worth your time. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fifth grade art inspired by “The Scream” restores my faith in American public education.

When can I sleep for 16 hours straight? Oh, tomorrow, during my child’s spring break.

Despicable example of online sexual harassment of a young woman perpetrated by men in power. www.nytimes.com/athletic/624...

Mary Wollstonecraft as dinosaur defending the ‘Rights of All Saurians’. AI art created by one of my brilliant graduate students at Notre Dame (who was also an undergraduate student of mine)!

At last, it is open access! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

That's a wrap on my series of recent books on women in #philosophy for #womenshistorymonth! You can see them individually in my profile--an impressive list, and I'm sure there are others. If we don't think they're there, we won't look; if we don't look we won't find them. Here's to finding more!

Sorry, @nytpitchbot.bsky.social, the U.S. is technically a plebiscitary autocracy.

So honored to have Mary Shelley and her novel ‘The Last Man’ represented in the Oxford handbook on British and American 19th c women philosophers edited by @lydiamoland.bsky.social !

Notre Dame has long been at the forefront of finding answers to the most pressing questions facing our communities. See how federally funded research at the University is generating the treatments, innovations, and breakthroughs that can improve the lives of all Americans: go.nd.edu/2502ef

Wait for it…it’s KERMIT THE FROG!!! youtu.be/pEDf0UKJdgg

So excited to share our latest Virtual Sentiments episode with @eileenmhunt.bsky.social on her latest book, The First Last Man, and finding hope when it feels like the world is ending. Also available wherever you listen to podcasts! www.mercatus.org/hayekprogram...

So honored to have done this podcast with political theorist Kristen Collins on my book ‘The First Man: #MaryShelley and the Postapocalyptic Imagination’: www.mercatus.org/hayekprogram...

Check out my latest WollstoneBlog post! On Wollstonecraft’s savage takedown of Burke’s ‘servile’ defense of slavery and ‘the slave trade’: sites.google.com/nd.edu/eilee...

Just finished listening to Peter Brown’s astoundingly powerful children’s book trilogy, THE WILD ROBOT, with my 10yo. It reaffirmed my faith in quality, philosophical children’s literature as the key to unlocking a better future for humanity!

Proud of the graduate students who have organized the 2nd graduate conference in political theory and constitutional studies at Notre Dame—next Friday March 28th. Featuring Kinch Hoekstra (Berkeley) as keynote speaker.

Beyond the pale! I am rarely in agreement with Justice Barrett’s decisions but the right’s terror campaign against her and her family as well as other judges whom they peg as woke or disloyal to TRump is abominable and an affront to justice itself. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...

An excellent and touching interview with Orwell’s son. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...
