 Hello everyone! Greetings after a very busy day...

Thinking about it, it feels like I accidentally fell into studying Gender & Sexuality. I went into Haverford believing I would major in Psychology and concentrate in Creative Writing, but here I am: English major, GenSex concentration. I started taking English classes and realized that they all had some relevance to the this particular topic, so I just kept going. I am more excited about this class than I think I would typically be, however, because it's a means for me to branch out of my comfort zone within the field. I have read all kinds of literature focused on gender and sexuality, but all within the English department and it's time I broaden my perspective outside of studying strictly literature and philosophy. I've thought this for awhile, but this class seems like it will take that idea further than I could have in simply choosing courses in Anthropology, Psychology or Sociology, for example. My goal is to be able to understand issues of gender and sexuality and be able to operate with these understandings in the world, and this is a step closer to being able to relate to the lives of a bigger group of people and helping to work through the problems that still exist today for women and men.
