21.01.2022 I'm super excited to announce that The Thinking Woman will be out in the United States in Fall/Winter 2020 with Rutgers University Press. The book stands to be right at home with a press whose most recent titles include this beauty celebrating 100 of womens' suffrage in the United States, and published in association with the Library of Congress.
15.01.2022 Thank you to the judges of the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards 2020 for selecting The Thinking Woman in the Highly Commended category for Non-fiction. I am stoked! And congratulations to those authors named right across the categories this year. There are so many great titles here to add to a summer reading list.
13.01.2022 My new novella 'Instructions for a Steep Decline' has been a long time in the making. If you're in Melbourne on 8 November, please help me celebrate its launch with fellow winners of the Griffith Review Novella Project VII, member of the judging panel, Aviva Tuffield, and GR editor Ashley Hay. It's a free event, but you need to register via eventbrite. I'd love to see you there.
12.01.2022 "The mingling of van Loon’s story with Braidotti’s idea that the formation of identity is a collaborative effort as well as her explanation of interconnectedness creates a newfound appreciation for those people in your life that have given you parts of them and in the process created a version of yourself that you would never have experienced otherwise. It is a powerful chapter on the bond we share with others and how our identity is shaped through these relationships." A warm thank you to Doris Pushpam for this thoughtful and heartfelt review of The Thinking Woman in the latest edition of TEXT Journal: http://www.textjournal.com.au/oct19/pushpam_rev.htm
05.01.2022 I love this episode of 3cR’s Radical Philisophy on the philosophy of mathematics. And I particularly enjoyed Dr Mary Leng’s use of netball as the exampler at one point in place of the usual US & masculine-centric baseball. Little alterations like that can really invite women listeners into the conversation when it comes to philosophy. Anyway, I have discovered that in mathematical philosophy terms I am probably a fictionalist rather than a realist or structuralist. There you go.
