yooooo. how are we all doing on this absolutely wonderful friday afternoon? i have been thinking about courses lately..whats offered, what should be offered, etc. etc.

i would absolutely love to see atleast an undergrad intro class to critical whiteness studies. wouldnt that be kinda cool? id also like to see a few more classes that take the intro to queer studies topics into greater detail. maybe a queer studies minor option....maybe a major option. and what about a class that looks at masculinity more specifically, that be pretty cool. i would also orgasm at the sight of a feminist philosophy class. word. wouldnt that be so cool! my brain would probably explode with happiness. lets see what else....there could be more feminist theory classes that could elaborate more on the topics discussed in intro to feminist theory. I think that a course on women and the law would also be pretty interesting where you could have an opportunity to turn an analytical lens on the legislative and judicial practices in this country. it could look at reproductive rights, health policy, etc. etc.

obviously it takes work on a number of levels in order to have more courses offered, but hey we should start taking a more influential role in GWS cultivation so we can bring the noise to the people. holler.

and so, i pose the question....what would you like to see offered?

have a wonderful weekend, my friends.

I think everything you listed would be great. I'd like to see an entire class on Black feminist theory as well. And I'd like the senior seminar class to happen in the fall, not the spring.

My question: Why am I the only person who has posted on the GWS discussion board? It's supposed to be a tool for us to discuss this stuff.
