Mandrake Society Radio Interview w/ Dr. Herukhuti

J. W. Richard of Mandrake Society Radio interviewed Dr. Herukhuti recently.

Here is the interview in two parts: PART 1 and PART 2.

Tea Bag The White House

At about 2 mins into the segment, the reporter refers to people ready to "tea bag the White House." For those that don't know, teabagging has a sexual connotation that--according to Wikipedia--means "the act of a man placing his testicles in the mouth or on or around the face (including the top of the head) of another person, often in a repeated in-and-out motion." Are the Obamas into teabagging?

Ifalade Ta'Shia Asanti

Sometimes we hear about people who we sense are our kindred spirits. People will say, "Oh, you have to meet so and so. You do similar things." Well, that's what has been the case with our sister, Ifalade Ta'Shia Asanti. She's the co-founder of and visionary behind the World Pride and Power Conference.

Read what Ifalade has to say about the relationship between her spirituality and sexuality as she answers Essential Questions.

Call for Submissions - Bisexualities and Spiritualities

JOURNAL OF BISEXUALITY
Special Issue
BISEXUALITIES and SPIRITUALITIES
Call for Submissions
1/19/09

Over the last decade much has been written about the spirituality of lesbian- and gay-identified persons but not as much about people drawn to more than one gender. As a corpus of work, those writings include diverse voices and experiences across ethnicities, genders, and spiritual/religious traditions. We seek to further the discourse on the relationship between sexuality and spirituality in this special issue of the Journal of Bisexuality.

We invite the submission of proposals or completed first drafts that explore and examine bisexualities practiced within, alongside, and in response to spiritualities and vice versa. In this context, spirituality should be understood to be inclusive of religious practice or affiliation but also included in this understanding are ways of life that are rooted in wisdom traditions that are not defined by/as religion. We seek thoughtful, critical, and theoretically grounded work in any form including empirical research articles, creative non-fiction, theoretical essays, narrative inquiry, auto/ethnographies, poetry, short stories, histories, literary criticism, cultural studies, etc., particularly those which foreground intersections, borderlands, or complications.
