Class Experience
Young feminists can benefit from knowing about the feminist icons who came before them. In this class, which is very fast paced and energetic, we will look at three of these icons from the Golden Age of Hollywood: Anna May Wong, Marlene Dietrich, and Katharine Hepburn. This is not just for students who love classic films or even know who these performers are--I love telling these women's stories to students who have never heard anything about them! Students do not need any previous...
By the end of this class, students will know about the lives of Wong, Dietrich, and Hepburn and how they existed as protypical feminists.
I have been an English professor for 10+ years, which involves teaching through a feminist lens. My terminal degree, an MFA in Creative Nonfiction, focused on feminist narratives. In addition, my undergraduate degree in English with a minor in History prepared me for a career as a feminist educator. At the collegiate level, I teach education majors how to address diversity issues in their classroom in a class called Teaching Diversity Through Young Adult Literature. My essays on feminism and pop culture have been published by Jezebel, Everyday Feminism, Role Reboot, and Salon. I have also been teaching feminism courses on Outschool since early 2020.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
1 hour per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
