In all of my book talks — for a book about 1940s U.S. antifascism — I mention Lula and Brazil in the 2020s. Whether it helps or hurts, we have to grapple with history — the lessons and uncertainties of a global perspective — from a century ago, to history now being made in our own times…

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.
