Introduction

My name is Pranitha Prabhu and I am a Biology major, with a pre-med concentration, and minor in Spanish Language. I wanted to take this class because it explores topics that I have not thought about. I am extremely addicted to various forms of technology and I think it is so interesting to think about feminism in relation to the changing world. Gender issues are so important and I discuss things I come across with my peers and mentors but I have yet to take a structured class in this topic. I am ready to question ideas that I have not thought about under the lens of women’s issues and am eager to see how the discussions are going to change my ways of thinking. The beauty of the concentration of this class, technology, is that it focuses on things in our lives that we use everyday to make our lives easier but on closer inspection, is it hindering us as women?
