Brief Biographical Sketch:
I am a transfer student from El Camino College, a California community college, currently studying at Yale University as a junior. I've worked extensively in LGBT+ activism and peer mentoring with a focus on transgender identity. My interests include psychology, art, and dance and I hope to become a clinical psychologist working with a specialization in psychosis and trauma. Currently, I work as a transfer peer mentor for Academic Strategies at my university, peer liaison for the Dowe Center of LGBTQ Resources at Yale, and off-campus at Strange Ways. I am also a Youth LINK Mentor for the Boys and Girls Village in Milford. I look forward to meeting you and having the opportunity to teach! :-) Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)H4755: Gender 101 in Splash Fall 2023 (Nov. 11, 2023)
What is gender? Why is gender? How is gender? Who is gender? When is gender? All these questions and more will be answered in this course (maybe). Especially during political times reliant on aggressive misinformation campaigns about transgender, nonbinary, gender diverse, and two-spirit peoples, we'll unpack the basics of where gender comes from, what gender-affirming care actually is and what it's not, and how we can become more critical consumers of information about gender.
