We will begin tomorrow's class with a brief review of the 5 learning units from the course and my thoughts as far as key take aways. I would also like each of you to weigh in on take aways as well. I have a couple of questions that I would like to ask you all during class tomorrow:
1.) What are your top 3 take aways from the course? Why?
2.) How will/can you apply this new expertise to your personal lives? What about careers?
3.) What advice would you give persons such as myself who seek to make a career off of researching and teaching in this field? How can I be a better teacher and researcher?
I want to note that I consider tomorrow our last journey together, but not our final journey into the world of gender, sex, and communication. I hope that some of these lessons continue on beyond the official end of class tomorrow and you spread the word. While our discussions in class have certainly been insightful and poignant, they are not worth as much if we do not challenge our families, friends, coworkers, and even strangers to think about the world through a critical gender/sex lens. I know that each of you have the capability to affect those around you in very powerful ways and I challenge you to do so!
