All good things....
This was such a great class and I really learned a lot from it. I think the two most important things I picked up from it were the film terms and the idea of intersectionality. We had talked about intersectionality a little in my past GWSS classes (taken at another University) but I felt like we really explored it in this class. Looking at No! and Water it was so apparent that the issues these women face are no way near the issues I have to face when it comes to my womanhood.
Plus just meeting all the different people in the class helped me learn. I had amazing talks before and during class with a lot of the students that I think cleared some previous judgment I’d had. And as far as the film terms go I now understand more about how a film is put together and will be able to talk to my film friend back home more in depth about movies. I’m really looking forward to sharing my knowledge. I haven’t agreed with everything we’ve read in class but I learned some interesting theory that I’ve already started discussing with others outside of class. Thanks again Rachel, I really did love this class.
