☆ Why female friendships can be so fragile
  + stars: | 2024-08-04 | by ( Terry Ward | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
CNN: What makes women feel close, platonically, and why can our relationships feel so fragile? The three things that make women feel very close and connected are support, symmetry and secrecy, which I call the three affinities of female friendship. These are also the things that can make our friendships feel fragile. 1 thing women look for in their same-sex friendships is emotional support. And because of that courage, I’ve noticed my own friendships feel a lot more satisfying.

☆ Opinion | On Race and Academia

But I have always thought of that as racial preferences the way they should have been, merely additive around the margins. I was hired straight out of my doctoral program for a tenure-track job at an Ivy League university in its august linguistics department. Plus, I was brought on to represent a subfield within linguistics — sociolinguistics — that has never been my actual specialty. At the time I was not very politicized, and I assumed that my race had merely been a background bonus to help me get hired. I had been hired by white people who, quite innocently, thought they were doing the right thing by bringing a Black person onto the faculty.
