Pleasure Mechanics

A very full morning covering the history of Squirm, growth of the magazine into a fully funded campus organization, and hearing from the other schools represented at the campus. A common theme was student submissions in the age of internet porn - how is what these student magazines create different from porn? How to encourage student submissions when everyone is concerned about online reputation management and  getting jobs out of college? What is the political statement made by submitting erotic work to a publication, opening up your intimate life and identity to your peers?

More to come - but the rich conversations between alumni and current students are certainly inspiring to all.
