@AroundTheNFL Where did the podcast go? Am I right that the last episode was May 21. What did I miss?

How much extra credit for this line in a student essay? "I chose Emilie Durkheim because the book he wrote, The Divison of Labor in Society, really touched my heart in so many ways."

@RichardvReeves Thanks again for shouting out our "Tenuous Attachments" paper in JEP! I have other work on men you might find interesting: Missing Men (journals.uwyo.edu/index.php/work…) and Moving On Up (rsfjournal.org/content/8/4/68). And thanks for Of Boys and Men!
