Janet Audette
Introduction Letter
WST 4415
My name is Janet and I am in my fourth and final year at UCF. I'm not going to say that I won't miss it here, but I certainly can not wait to move on. My major is Anthropology and my minor is Woman Studies. As for the ever prevalent question regarding my plans after graduation-- I would have to say that they are still churning in the mind blender (picture that as you wish). Basically, I really do not have any solid ideas yet, but in my opinion this makes life more exciting. Yes, I have definitely heard every sort of retort to that statement; there are just so many options...
As for the here and now...I live for culture! I love everything about culture diversity and learning what makes other people so fascinatingly and amazingly unique. The Global Woman's movement is something that transcends cultural differences (or at times barriers) and enables women everywhere to set aside these differences and work for something magnificent. The ability to learn about all the steps that countless people have taken to make this movement more attainable for all is simply profound.
I must say that I am most interested to learn how the uniting of woman cross culturally interferes (or threatens) the local governments of the less accepting nations. I feel that this is something that I must remember to consider when learning about these particular geographic places. What might seem like a small stride through my ego centric perspective is actually leaps and bounds for more stifled, less active nations. I am certainly excited to have much of my ignorance of transnational feminism annihilated!
I also agree to all of the terms and comprehend all information presented about this blog, the syllabus and the class.
