...Because of the way I was raised-by just my grandmother with no men in the house-I wasn't introduced to the idea of standard sex roles and gender biases. It was more important for me growing up to be able to lift that 50-pound bag of rock salt for my grandmother than if I was pretty or had nice-looking nails. One of the things I hope to show through my books is that there's no black and white when it comes to men and women. One woman told me, "I didn't know that women...
...know that karaoke supposedly accounts for 1 out of every 4 consumer dollars spent on music worldwide?

Harvard allows pretty much anything from glassware to backpacks to be licensed, but obtaining rights to the trademark is not easy. In order to acquire trademark licenses, companies...
...have always loved School House Rock, and since I was a bit of a wonk even in my youth, the “I’m Just a Bill” song describing a bill’s journey from draft to federal law has always been my favorite. Harvard has a very different process for passing a bill, and by a bill I mean a change in policy. Unfortunately the administration has not yet come up with a helpful song to explain it, but this somewhat convoluted process can facilitate important discussion as long as everyone involved with...
