And for students in particular, networking doesn’t need to be formal. You can just approach a scholar and say how you appreciate their work. No other motive. The scholars interested in the next generation will often ask about your interests and connect you with people.

Sexual abuse served up as reality tv drama is just sickening. For the survivors and their stories, I hope there is justice at the end of this spectacle.
