I am starting my second semester as Director of the Institute for Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies.  This term we are co-hosting a panel discussion and viewings of the award winning film “Miss Representation,” hosting a knowledge lab workshop series on the Occupy movements, and organizing talks by sociologist Lisa Adkins, philosopher Karen Houle and others.  To find out more about our Events, click here to be directed to the IGSF’s Events page. The term is also commencing with an invited lecture at Carleton University on the case construction of bystanding around the Kitty Genovese murder.  Research on my book on the case continues — I’ve scheduled the first of several interviews I hope to complete this spring with major figures in the field of social psychology and have planned a trip to NYC to complete research at the New York Public Library of Performing Arts.  I will be attending the SCMS conference 21-25 March in Boston.  I am not teaching this term, which means more time for research and writing!!

My sabbatical ended on August 31st and I am back in residence at McGill University. On September 1st I took up a new position at McGill as Director of the Institute for Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies.  In addition to learning how to be an administrator and hosting fantastic speakers like Heather Love and Judy Norsigian (of Our Bodies Ourselves), we’re in the process of planning events for next year, including a symposium on Girls Studies.  I continue to research the 1964 Kitty Genovese case.  This fall I’m studying the court transcripts and giving three related talks.  I am teaching the graduate course COMS 633: Feminist Media Studies.

My sabbatical official ends August 31, 2011.  Until then, I continue to reside in California where I am writing a proposal for my book project on the 1964 Kitty Genovese Murder, writing an article about films related to the Genovese case and attending the NEH Summer Institute in Digital Humanities and American Studies at USC in Los Angeles, July 18-August 11.
