Beta/Roldine: Introduction...

My name is Roldine. I'm a sophomore at Bryn Mawr, majoring in sociology concentrating in gender and sexuality. I decided to take this course out of necessity and out of curiosity. It's one of the requirements for the gender and sexuality concentration and I've always enjoyed discussions about gender and sexuality. The word in particular that drew me in, moreover, was "interdisciplinary". As a sociology major, I've only really been taught to think about gender in sociological terms and theories. Because of that, I find that when thinking about gender ans sexuality my process is very boxed in my major. While I'm trying to do this on my own, I want this class to help me to think outside my box, while not ignoring the fact that it exists and that it has a valid argument in understanding the structures of gender and sexuality. I chose the user name Beta because (from my understanding) a beta program in computer language is a work-in progress, which I feel is very reflective of life. Also, I just really enjoy Ann Dalke's teaching style :). I'm really excited for this class and hope that it fulfills my expectations.
