When I mentioned the Love and Fidelity Network yesterday I neglected to mention their first annual conference, “Sexuality, Integrity, and the University,” on November 7-8 at Princeton University.
The conference features talks by fine scholars such as Brad Wilcox, Miriam Grossman and First Things contributor Mary Eberstadt. It should be an edifying couple of days, and if you’re really lucky you’ll run into me. Registration ends October 13, so be sure to sign up soon! (Students will find the $30 registration offer—including materials, food, and hotel accommodations—especially appealing.)
