Listen to Athletes


In between two nor'easters, I headed up to Ithaca this past week to give the Seymour Lecture at Cornell University. The lecture happened to fall on International Women's Day, which was appropriate -- I was the first woman to give this lecture at Cornell. It was a lovely few days up in Ithaca.


My jaunt started with a reading of ONE GOAL at Buffalo Street Books, followed by a guest appearance the next morning in the history class of Dr. Lawrence Glickman, where I got to talk about politics and the Olympics.


For the Seymour Lecture, my talk -- entitled "Listen to Athletes for a Change -- focused on sports and political activism. It was the first time I have located ONE GOAL, which is my first attempt at narrative non-fiction, within my broader academic work.


I am very appreciative to Dr. Glickman and the history department at Cornell for a delightful four days chatting with faculty and students, signing books, and enjoying a respite from dark, powerless neighborhood.

If you have been watching the Olympics, then you must have seen the way that the athletes and their coaches interact.Contact us for kickboxing gloves for men.
