It was remarkable to see the ways in which your work has evolved during your career. I was wondering if you could tell us a little bit about the kind of self-revision or self-evaluation process that you have undergone as a scholar, as a feminist (if that's something you identify as...), etc.

What advice do you have for us as academics and people who want to make a difference in the world around them? I always find myself feeling guilty about the privilege that I have as someone who has the luxury to be spending time thinking about issues of gender and sexuality in a classroom setting. In your time as a scholar and someone who has clearly spent time as a global citizen, what is important for us to remember if we are really looking to apply what we learn in the classroom to our everyday lives? Advice...?

Also, as a professor - what are your thoughts on required extracurricular projects for classes: like "civic engagement" projects? "service learning?"

I'm really interested in the significance of being intentional about bridging the gap between service/action and theory/scholarship... Is it okay? Would it work?

Looking forward to class tomorrow!
