Book discussion to explore 'Men Explain Things To Me'
March 2, 2017
The Nanook Diversity and Action Center's book discussion in March will focus on Rebecca
Solnit's 2008 essay collection, "Men Explain Things to Me."
In her comic, scathing essays, Solnit took on what often goes wrong in conversations
between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and
wrongly assume women don't, about why this arises and how this aspect of the gender
wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters.
The discussion will be held on Tuesday, March 28, at 5 p.m. in the Wood Center conference
room. Eight books will be available for pick-up on Friday, March 10, in the NDAC office
at 101K Wood Center. Those with their own copies are welcome to join the discussion.
