Due to the MLK holiday, only one class this week. And what a class it was!

We discussed Paradoxes of Gender by Judith Lorber and it was a fab discussion. We really dug into the paradox of talking about gender while also working towards a gender-free world. It really parallels some of the debates I’m having in my head about raising an empowered girl with knowledge of women’s history. I can see how she makes comments about the world that my intentionality towards women’s history and role models is reinforcing the girls vs boys divide/war. Which is not my intention!

This week I have to miss both my classes due to going to DC to accept an award. Pretty good excuse, eh? Which is of course, freaking awesome, but throws my whole schedule off! I have meetings upon meetings while also needing to do homework. UGH! Wish me luck at keeping up with my class work while also doing a lot of job work this week.
