I posted this in our facebook group but I wanted the profs to be able to contribute to conversation:

#AllBlackLivesMatter: The Creation of an Intersectional Movement
Introduction
Your Money is Foul and So Is Capitalism: Why We Need to be Anticapitalist
“Globalization colonizes women’s as well as men’s lives around the world,
and we need an anti-imperialist, anticapitalist, and contextualized feminist
project to expose and make visible the various, overlapping forms of
sub- jugation of women’s lives.”
I’ve been putting off writing this reflection because it means I’ve come to the end of this incredible experience. But seeing as it’s due in a couple of hours, I guess I should begin the end. Wow… I’m sitting here tearing up. Good lord, you guys are always making me cry.
How do I even begin to express my gratitude?
Reflecting on this 360 has been an almost daily part of my life since the semester started. I came into this course cluster with many preconceived notions about myself, the professors, the course content, and how it would all play out. Most of the ideas I had constructed were not immediately proved wrong and therefore this semester has involved a constant exercise in adjustment. I knew that the courses would feel very personal for me but I had confidence in my ability to operate as an academic within our dynamic. As a sociology major I spend a lot of my time deconstructing oppression and dissecting cultural structures, often these structures play out in my personal life as well. I did not expect to be so triggered by classroom discussions, texts, and group dynamics.
