Every year at Cornell, I teach about Working Women United. It was Cornell workers who first put a name to "sexual harassment" — reaching a wider conscience. They did not see abuses as individualized tragic events. They saw gender & sexual abuses in terms of social hierarchy & institutional power.

My pleasure to go on the PTO podcast. We discuss US-UK labor & race & empire struggles — amid WW2 antifascism — as ‘foreign’ and ‘domestic’ politics were blurred. This draws from my new book — TROOP MOVEMENTS. We can trace an arc of such dynamics from the 1940s to 1960s, from post-9/11 to Trump.
