#1 -- In homage to Sara Ruddick

Today I will teach Sara Ruddick's Maternal Thinking to my "Monstrous Mothers of Literature" class -- though if the past week and a half of meetings has been any indication, they'll teach me as much as I teach them through the wonderful conversation I'm anticpating from them!
One of the assignments I've given them this semetser is to keep a blog as a site for them to react to and reflect on the readings we're doing. In solidarity, I'll be blogging, too :) And maybe this blog will help keep me accountable, as well, as I work on my current book project (tentative title: Daughterless Mothers: Complicating Images of Mother Ireland and Mother Africa).
