Intersecting Inequalities, Moving Positionalities: An Interlude

The breadth and depth of Martha Macintyre�s scholarship and humanity are celebrated across this volume. As a long-term colleague and friend, I am honoured to add some words that, although they were invited as an �Afterword�, are perhaps better described as an �Interlude�, that sits between the feast of scholarly reflections presented in the preceding chapters and some more personal engagements yet to come. These include a biographical interview between Martha and Alex Golub, some moving and hilarious tributes to her and a long, enticing list of Martha�s publications to date� an assortment of after-dinner treats, if you like. Anyone who has had the pleasure of feasting at Martha�s table, in addition to reading her writing, will appreciate the aptness of the gastronomic analogy.
