Tomorrow is the first day of classes here at Lawrence, and I’m teaching Gender Studies 100. We’re starting with a discussion of Caster Semenya, of course, so that we can talk a little bit about the way gender studies people view a story like hers. It introduces stuff like the binary, genetic/chromosomal sexing, gender stereotypes, etc.
I’m looking forward to it. This course is co-taught, and my co-teacher is from Physics this year, which means plenty of science students. Should be entertaining.
