Recommendations Please

Posted by bean | June 14th, 2004

As some of you may know, I also do some volunteer work with a magazine (the first issue is in stores NOW!!) called World Pulse . Anyway, we’re looking for some new columnists, and I’m hoping to tap into your knowledge and see if you can think of any women who might be good for this position.

From the publisher, Jensine Larson:

We are looking for one or several women to write for a department that is dear to my heart. It is called “Foreign Relationship Therapy” and we don’t have it in our first issue, because we couldn’t find the right woman/women to invite to write. We are looking for someone who has background in human psychology and international relations and can apply healthy relationship principles to international relationships and do themes like “bullying” or comment on current events. Sort of like a “Dr. Phil” for international relations with a woman’s flair. It can be a humorous column - in fact, it is probably better to have it be somewhat lighthearted because our content can be rather serious! I’ve been thinking of asking Molly Ivons for recommendations for example!

If you can think of anyone who would be good, let me know. It can be a friend or someonw you’re read. You don’t have to know them personally — you may have just read an article or book by them. OTOH, she doesn’t have to have been published or well-known. Perhaps she is someone you know (or maybe it’s you) who happens to have a strong interest in this subject and an ability to write about it. If you can think of any suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks!!

    Isn’t Rivka of Respectful of Otters in psychological health? I could be totally wrong.

    I don’t know if Rivka would go for it, but she is a psychologist, and I for one will read pretty much anything she cares to write. (And it’s Ivins with an “i” unless you mean someone else, of whom Google can tell me nothing.)

    Rivka is busy, I think, but you should ask her anyway.
