I'm off for my first day back to school. Very exciting. Got my way-too-heavy backpack. Got my lunch and snacks. Got my bus pass and BART money. I'm all set.
(Online classes started last night. Looks like they'll be good, though I have some quibbles with the language used in one of the lectures, like I want to sit down and give the instructor some Language of Oppression 101 training, but her heart is obviously in the right place.)

Date: 2011-09-23 04:56 pm (UTC)Being in class with my Intro Sociology prof is a constant struggle for the same reason. She is a member of a couple of oppressed classes (which she recognizes and talks about) but she still manages to marginalize every other group with her language and attitudes. Every single time the class meets i come away from it flabbergasted.
