For my project, I think it would be interesting to explore what it means to attend a women's college without identifying as a woman. I would conduct interviews with trans and gender non-conforming students, and also see if the archives could offer some historical perspective. I think it could bring up a lot of really interesting issues, including the use, or failure to use, inclusive language and how it impacts one's sense of a connection to the community. I would probably also do some larger-scale research about the policies of women's colleges across the country when it comes to trans and gender non conforming students, to see how Bryn Mawr compares.
