In this series of public talks, scholars from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds will address such questions through the examination of cases drawn from many different parts of the world and from the recent past as well as the contemporary moment. Refreshments will be served. It is possible that one more talk will be added to the list, either on November 4 or December 9. I transferred to UC Davis last winter, majoring in Women's Studies and political science. For me, majoring in Women's Studies is not about what I will do with it five years from now, it's what I have already done.
Many people think that it's some sort of legitimized male bashing, full of unshaven bitter woman.
They are surprised to find my legs shaved and my hair intact. Rather than see this stereotype as an insult, I view it as an opportunity to educate people about Women's Studies, and feminist issues. Perhaps Women's Studies' greatest strength is that it is not about a single subject, it does not have a single vision. I do not concentrate on a single aspect of culture or social systems-I must look at issues on multiple levels, I must draw upon many different resources and viewpoints. Moreover, the major itself is comprehensive and ethnically diverse.
