Professor Rios’s Gender, Education, & International Development class hosted a recent Women’s Studies Brown Bag presenting their academic posters.
Focusing on discourses of “development,” these posters inverted contemporary images and ideas to expose how power and American geopolitics play into ideas about “good” education for “developing” countries/economies.
Educational Studies Students Hoa Bui, Michelle Sagalchik, Melissa Melendez, Kristi Carey, Natasha Torres, Aja Isler, and Jia Zheng were all honored for their dedicated social justice work on campus at the ALANA Soiree Awards Banquet. Profs. Rios and Stern were also recognized for their work with student groups on campus.
Professor Susan Woolley’s dissertation, Identity and Difference: Negotiating Gender and Sexuality in High School Contexts, analyzes the ways reading identity and difference while positioning others through teasing and jokes regulate gender and sexuality across school contexts.
