by Wise Woman Emily Simon We hear a lot about “mansplaining” these days, and so I’m going to do something I have only dreamed of doing (something our gal Hillary Rodham Clinton nobly and notably refrains from) and drop some Middle-Aged-Ladysplaining down right here. Not everyone who was reluctant to vote for Hillary Clinton hates […]

In 2015 I convened a 20th anniversary Dayton Peace Accords conference at Columbia University and during it I presented a side by side analysis about the parallels between Bosnia and Syria.
