- Domestic Behavior as Both Gendered and Raced: Who Does What for Airlines?While the flight attendant might be a quintessentially feminized occupation today, the first “stewardess” was, in fact, a “steward.” Pan American had an all-male steward workforce — and a ban on hiring women — for 16 years. It was forced to integrate during the male labor shortage of World War II, when female flight attendants were considered as revolutiona […]Lisa Wade, PhD
- Paul Cret and the Landscape of WarWalking through the remote Greek mountain landscape is what I typically do this time of the year.

I, for instance, have been tasked with doing graphic design for an important report. Specifically, I am digitizing profile sketches. The report is […]

Cool stuff: A flint knapped colorless bottle base...richiedcruz: Cool stuff: A flint knapped colorless bottle base I found. Hey, cool. I wrote a paper about expedient knapped glass tools used by lepers in Hawaii.
