Well, not really. But she does have a new advice column over at Inside Higher Ed. Go say hi. And ask her about that persistent rash you have. She’ll know what to do.

“A friend of mine had a brief fling at a conference with a major figure in her field, and now she suffers from a malodorous discharge which her ob-gyn is having trouble diagnosing and treating. What’s the etiquette for asking the resident of an endowed chair which particular STD he’s been passing around? (Background: my friend is an ABD in a top-twenty school that has top-ten aspirations.)”

Is there any overlap between this and her Suicide Girls column?

This column will probably actually be less aggressively feminist.
Hopefully it won’t get as many irritating trolls, either.

Assuming, that is, that Emerson isn’t registered at IHE….

Alas, he comments over there all the time. But I’m glad to hear you’ll be keeping things safe for those of us in the unmarked gender.

That bitch is the cause of two-thirds of my problems.

Only two-thirds? I’ll have to actually expend some effort.

Ben has 99 problems, and a bitch is about 66 of them?

“Dear Bitch: When I was DGS, the graduate students in my department invited some uppity, feminist blogger to come speak on campus. Now the grad students are demanding ridiculous things — mentoring, changing tables, you name it — and my colleagues blame me. Do you think she’d come back and tell the graduate students to behave?”

She’ll come back and tell your colleagues precisely where to get off, if you’d like.

If I could fund that talk, I would.

I deliberately did not post at IHE, where I am registered. I save my best stuff for EOTW and Unfogged, where I have an elite audience rather than the lumpenintelligentsia over there.
