Why do you study GWS/why is it important to you?
I think GWS is
important because it is another way in which to approach global issues of
social justice. I believe that women and men should have equal rights and
opportunities in life. Gender and sex should not be factors that eliminates
choices for a person. I feel that Gender and Women's Studies push a person to
get outside of their comfort zone and see the world through a new lens. It can
be daunting at times to see and explore the world through another point of view
but it helps you to be a well-rounded individual as you can acknowledge a
concern from a perspective that might not be dominant in the discourse.
