From Paris to New York

I’ve just returned home from Paris, where debates about Islam and feminism are raging — as you can see from all the women in the photo above. I’m the panelist in orange who’s reaching over. No, that’s not an attempt to lay a right hook on my debate opponent. (Although the debate did get scrappy.)

If you’d like to read or watch media coverage of the trip, click on these links:

* France’s newspaper of record, Le Monde;

* the popular cable television channel, France24; and

* 20 Minutes, a youth-oriented French daily.

Finally, if you’d like to receive advance notice of my public appearances overseas, sign up to my confidential and free mailing list. Here’s the bulletin I sent out about my latest Europe trip.
