Helping Students Drink Less

March 6, 2006, 12:32 pm

Leeds University, in Britain, is using the Web to collect data on the alcohol-use patterns of 300 students. The Web site will tell the students how their behavior stacks up against that of their peers, and it will dispense personalized advice on ways to reduce drinking. The university hopes to reduce student drinking by 10 percent over two years. (The Yorkshire Post)

I Interviewed Cordova many many years ago for my undergrad honors thesis on L.A. feminist. She is an insanely interesting person. I thought the book did a great job summing up the zeigeist of L.A during those years and loved that she represents the overlapping, rather than segmented worlds of activism!

And unpacking the picture: I love how she’s got a pack of Kools, some kind of radical armband, and a “Hello! My Name Is…” sticker on her shirt.

I wondered if you had used the term “religious” erroneously in the second paragraph, meaning it as an adjective to describe her activism. But after reading through the whole review, I see that she was *actually* a religious! Very cool. Thanks for the review.

“This is a good old-fashioned lesbian book”

Claire, sounds like a good old-fashioned book about complicated and fascinating humans. Great post.
