So, yesterday's introduction to feminist literary theory was just as exciting this year as it is every year when the debates between the genders begins. I am very proud of my students for where they are on their journeys figuring out their own gender status in society, but I also realize that there is still so much we have to unpack as a community of folks learning together.
In using my own lens, I notice more what the dynamics are of a class based on numbers of male versus female students. That's not to say I've figured out the most ideal teaching strategies to complement those dynamics, but for now, it's my starting point. I will learn to negotiate that so that everyone feels safer about articulating their own understandings about their gender status in society.
Always seeking,
Ms. Paraiso
