Hi Feministe!
I’m Nisha, and I’ll be guest blogging here for the next two weeks.
I have a blog, although I don’t update it that much since I usually write in a variety of other places. I’ve written for Mediaite, Politics Daily, The American Prospect, NPR.org and Ms. Magazine online. I’m also an editor of CitizenJanePolitics.com, where I reported on the 2008 elections (we are currently on a hiatus but coming back soon for midterm coverage!). I also have a day job where I do digital strategy for a communications/PR firm (But of course, disclaimer: any opinions here are mine and do not belong to my employer).
I don’t always write about feminism, but do sometimes. I typically write about politics, media, technology, and foreign policy. I studied political science and Middle Eastern studies in college, and after spending so many semesters learning Arabic and researching/writing on the Arab-Israeli conflict, I have a certain interest in that topic, so if something explosive happens in the Middle East you may see a post on that. Otherwise, expect a lot of politics, policy, and media.
A little other stuff about me: I live in Washington DC, but grew up and went to school in Illinois. When I’m not tooling around on the internet I love travelling, eating at good restaurants, exploring DC, reading, writing, and lots of bad television.
I’ve been a reader of Feministe for a long time so I’m excited to be guest blogging here — thanks to the editors and readers for having me! I welcome comments, so feel free to comment away. You can also find me on Twitter.
