This week, your responses can be shorter. We have several weeks where we can explore “topics” in gender and women’s studies. This can be very broad and so I am asking that you include in your post this week, some areas you would like the class to explore. So this week, please respond to the following:

• How do this week’s readings by Garza and Williams (and Anzaldua if you did the optional reading) expand your understanding of identity politics?
• What topics would you like to explore as a class in the remaining weeks of the semester? Optional: Why these topics?

Format Requirements
