I have long been fascinated by glimpses of the views of American social critic and general contrarian Camille Paglia as I have gone about more mundane business on the internet. This week, however, I came across a video interview with her by Ella Whelan of Spiked, and spent a very statisfying half-hour watching it. Today I have put it up on our site with some bits transcribed. I don't think I would like all of Dr Paglia's views on feminism, sexuality and so on, but she talks a lot more sense than most other feminists who get media attention. I hope you enjoy the video.
Denyse O'Leary finishes her four-part series on "mindfulness" today, drawing the following conclusion:
Mindfulness practices should be treated seriously or left alone. They should be offered in workplaces or schools only as a voluntary activity and not tied to performance.
