CONVERSATIONS WITH GREAT MINDS - PROFESSOR ANITA HILL Oct 07, 2021

Show notes

In 1991, Anita Hill shed new light on sexual harassment when she testified during Clarence Thomas’ Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Thirty years later, while awareness is at an all-time high, society’s approach to dealing with gender-based violence socially, legally, and legislatively still falls far short of where it needs to be. In her recent book, BELIEVING: Our Thirty-Year Journey to End Gender Violence, Hill uses her decades of experience to show the pervasive impact of gender-based violence and what needs to change.

We can expect the social media companies themselves, just like the tobacco companies, to do everything they can to fight the release or regulation of their “secret formulas.” Also, is it OK to follow Sinema into the bathroom to protest?
