Fridays at Newcomb featuring Margaret Knox on The Collaborative Life
Friday, November 9, 12 pm
Caroline Richardson Bldg., Anna Many Lounge
Margaret Knox is a freelance writer and editor and the writing partner
of husband Dan Baum. After Nine Lives appeared, a controversy erupted in
the New York City press and in the blogosphere about Knox’s work under
her husband’s byline. Why give up an exotic life covering foreign wars
to work as an unacknowledged collaborator? Knox will discuss how
she and Baum are well-suited for this collaboration and how it has kept
her name alive in the marketplace.

painful, exploration of what it means to be a woman.
Post-film discussion with Joann Guidos, whose own experience as a
transgendered woman is chronicled in Nine Lives (this year's Tulane
Reading Project book), and with Wesley Ware, director of BreakOUT, a
group that fights the criminalization of LGBTQ youth who are directly
impacted by the criminal or juvenile justice system in New Orleans.
Moderated by Mimi Schippers, Associate Professor of Sociology and Gender
& Sexuality Studies.
