Intersecting Inequalities, Moving Positionalities: An Interlude

Abstract

The breadth and depth of Martha Macintyre’s scholarship and humanity are celebrated across this volume. As a long-term colleague and friend, I am honoured to add some words that, although they were invited as an ‘Afterword’, are perhaps better described as an ‘Interlude’, that sits between the feast of scholarly reflections presented in the preceding chapters and some more personal engagements yet to come. These include a biographical interview between Martha and Alex Golub, some moving and hilarious tributes to her and a long, enticing list of Martha’s publications to date— an assortment of after-dinner treats, if you like. Anyone who has had the pleasure of feasting at Martha’s table, in addition to reading her writing, will appreciate the aptness of the gastronomic analogy. Show more
