Satisfied the Historical and Contemporary or Behavioral and Social Perspectives course and it was an honors section as well.
Going into this course I felt confident that it was going to be repetitive and I would pretty much know everything. I am not sure why I thought this, but I was definitely wrong. WGST is something I personally am interested in and thought I knew a lot about just from personal research, but also because this was my third class I’d taken with Dr. DS. After the first week, I knew I had a lot more to learn and I was so ready. I found myself learning about several new subjects in women and gender studies that I had not learned before (even in Dr. DS’s other courses). I think a professional takeaway that I had was that I can expand on topics I know about even if I think I am well educated in the subject. It’s not that I was closed off to learning more, I was just taught a new side of the issue or another part of it that I didn’t expect and I feel like in the future I will have these experiences in my profession. I learned to be open to new layers of the issue and try to figure out how to go about understanding.
For my artifact, I wanted to use the podcast episode we created, but I can’t seem to figure out how to link the audio. I’m going to link the transcript for it instead.
