Thanks very much for this introduction to Jon Mooallem! Unfortunately, I haven't followed his essays. If it's relevant to his interests, allow me to suggest the topic of abortion rights. Whether or not he considers this a crisis, it's worth the serious attention of prominent journalists. The reports in today's NY Times, front page, about the Oklahoma Legislature passing a measure to make it the strictest abortion law in the U.S., prohibiting nearly all abortions starting at fertilization, should prompt mass protests with civil disobedience across the country: Oklahoma heralds what may be next if we don't voice strong opposition. See also the excellent article today "Half of U.S. Women Risk Losing Abortion Access if Roe v. Wade Is Voided." (NYT, p. A14) JM could be a potential force for women's rights! DD
