I'm Emma C. Obata, a student at SLU writing this blog to facilitate, describe, and share my experiences with feminism in action. This blog is to be a revolutionary, exceptional (inevitably cliched!) attempt at acting on my womanist agenda, as one of several small projects for a women's studies course.
Course: Feminism in Action
Instructor: Dr. Penny Weiss, PhD.
"Mother" Institution: Saint Louis University, a Jesuit university in St. Louis, MO, USA
This blog will serve as:
- A careful diarizing of my projects, which include:
- A compilation of short memoirs from interesting women (apropos private, secret life experiences)
- An ad campaign which combines poetry & graphic design (to be completed with a fellow student)
- Start a neopagan (goddess-centered) club on campus (support base, activist den, alternate option)
- Volunteer work here and there (UNA -- SLU's feminist group, Rainbow Alliance, local organizations...)
- Tentatively, a rock band. One Blood will focus on unity, marginalization, and combine original lyrics and sound with a fresh feminist outlook.
- This blog, The Stranded.
- Reflections on class readings. I'll give an annotated bibliography when I reference them.
- Reflections on feminist events (speakers, brown-bags, protests, etc).
- Personal experiences with feminism, thoughts, and snarky jabs at the patriarchal system! This category especially includes such things as in-class experiences with philosophy and theology, and the manner of teaching, subjects/units addressed, reading materials (male voices primarily? is a feminist option considered?).
- Miscellaneous... that is, anything else! (related to FIA)
