Happy publication day to the first Japanese translation of The Second Sex! Curious how Beauvoir’s “most famous line”—“One is not born, but becomes, [a] woman”—was rendered into Japanese in 1953? See my latest website update: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/91a8...

Few academics in the humanities want to re-think decades-old evaluation systems; nobody wants to re-do their years-old course designs. The real cost of this inertia and refusal to adapt will soon become all too clear.
