I'm a single white female scholar, PhD in cultural anthropology, with a great smile and fantastic sense of humor. I love my dog and I (try) to play banjo - how cool is that? Laughter and affection are important to me. I am passionate about social justice and am frustrated with the anti-intellectualism in the current political climate.
I'm looking for male company around my age who can talk social theory, enjoys documentary films, and shares my political and social values. Are you a folk music fan? I have spent too much time alone, and it's time for me to step out and get moving. I think finding someone to learn to dance with would be fun, as long as that someone doesn't expect miracles. Oh, and a taste for good beer would be a plus.
And must like dogs.
 
 
 
Instead of authors, how about recent books? I have recently finished Jackson Lears' The Rebirth of a Nation, about the Gilded Age, and am reading a book on the political economy of agricultural biotechnology.
