Welcome to our newest columnist, Reina Gattuso!

Reina headshotI’m excited to announce that the brilliant Reina Gattuso is officially joining us as a regular Feministing columnist. Like us, you’ve likely been impressed by her writing on the site so far — from her series on intimate partner violence in queer communities to her thoughtful reflections on ethical sex

Reina is passionate about empowering conversations around queerness, sexual ethics, and institutional equity with equal parts rhapsody and snark. Her writing has appeared in the Harvard Crimson, the Harvard Advocate, and the Huffington Post. She will be spending 2015-2016 on a Fulbright-Nehru Research fellowship in Delhi and Lucknow, India.

Please join us in welcoming Reina to the Feministing crew, catch up on her columns if you’ve missed any, and be sure to follow her on Twitter!
