kularskibrought to you by Livescribe I have been keeping up my notes for my project in my notebook and not in anything digital, so I can add things to my notes as soon as I have a thought. I had some good ideas on Monday in Transnational Feminism and tonight in Theoretical Approaches to Sexuality. […]
For anyone who is curious, below is my planned list of readings for my Tutorial in Sociology on the topic of Masculinity. Kimmel, M. S. 2007. Men’s lives. 7th ed. Boston, MA: Pearson Allyn and Bacon. (selected chapters) 44 – The morality/manhood paradox : masculinity, sport and the media 48 – Culture, gender, and violence […]
Today was pretty interesting in Theoretical Approaches to Sexuality. About half way through the class time Dr. Stephenson conducted a bit of a “class introduction”. We went through the names of everyone and why they were in the class on the first day of class, but today instead we had a group coming out. I […]

Theoretical Approaches to Sexuality and Introduction to Lesbian and Gay Studies has been a constant on my schedule. […]
I had gotten very used to having the option of renting textbooks at Fayetteville. It was a very nice system. I pay a flat fee every semester for my texts and they are shipped to me. Now that I am fully back at UNC-Charlotte I am reminded of the horrors of buying textbooks. There seem […]
I believe preparing for this upcoming fall semester has been the most difficult course selection I have ever had to make. I have been torn between a lot of different class options, all of them promising some joyous new intellectual avenue, but I only have space for a few. I know for certain that I […]

The schedule itself is still somewhat flexible, due to the fact that I have not yet consulted with my advisor about the final plan for my program. The graduate level courses I plan to take […]
