About Us

Nicola Karras is a conservative feminist. She enjoys philosophy, politics, and transgression. When she grows up (which she plans to avoid for as long as possible), she wants to be an intellectual, or, failing that, an astronaut.

Kate Maltby is cross that Nicola stole her self-descriptors. She wanted to be a public intellectual long before Nicola did, which is to say, a cosmonaut. A perfectionistic, feminist Anglican, she is far too self-conscious to comfortably accept self-definition through such crude medium as this.

Dara Lind is a bleeding-heart traditionalist. Her enduring interests include culture (broadly defined), media, performance, and postmodernism. Her immediate interests include finding some way to make money writing about the above, having tried to sell out but failed.
