![I have always been prochoice. But I had never really critically examined my own position on abortion until this past semester. I sometimes wondered if I, personally, would feel comfortable having an abortion if I were to get pregnant. I questioned the morality of abortion even as I supported a […]](https://files.eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3606/2013/01/15225829/bfcd-2013-115x115.jpg "No Freedom without Reproductive Freedom")
![What a whirlwind semester this has been! I’m so thrilled I had the opportunity to take this course (Feminism, Health and New Media) with Professors Jessie Daniels and Morgane Richardson. It has honestly been one of the highlights of my collegiate career and I have learned so much–not only from […]](https://files.eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3606/2012/12/15225830/Screen-shot-2012-12-17-at-3.29.48-PM-115x115.png "I’ll be back…")
![You are a UN Humanitarian Aid worker who has recently been sent to Liberia to provide aid to women, men and children in surrounding IDP camps. Using the readings, notes from the guest lecture, and film, state what steps you think the UN must take to ensure the safety, health […]](https://files.eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3606/2012/12/15225831/liberia-115x115.jpg "Cultural consciousness: the Key to Good Humanitarian Aid")
![After watching The Education of Shelby Knox in class two weeks ago, I thought I would follow in some of my classmates footsteps and write about my own experiences of sexual health education–especially as it served to inspire the topic for my final paper. My first memory of official sexual education is […]](https://files.eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3606/2012/12/15225833/no-more-coat-hangers-115x115.jpg "The Education of Kaitlyn O’Hagan")
![As I boarded a Flatbush Ave-bound 2 train after a long day of school and studying, I was looking for nothing more than a peaceful ride. I have become quite used to panhandling subway performers, and as such, they don’t normally disrupt my ride. However, tonight was different. Three young […]](https://files.eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3606/2012/11/15225849/2636515229_bec425ae82-115x115.jpg "Harassment or Performance Art? My train ride home")
![Last weekend, I was at the National Collegiate Honors Council Conference. My awareness of how gendered the space at the conference was began before I even arrived in Boston. A week before the conference, all student attendees received an email from one of the student organizers; it included a gendered […]](https://files.eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3606/2012/11/15225850/dresscode-115x115.jpg "Navigating Gender-Exclusive Space")
![On Wednesday night, on the train to Boston with two of my CUNY classmates to NCHC (more on that in an upcoming post), Patryk Perkowski asked me if it was okay to say “you guys.” Despite my frequent feminist writing and ranting, I had never really considered the question – and I […]](https://files.eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3606/2012/11/15225852/Screen-shot-2012-11-17-at-6.30.53-PM1-115x112.png "Stop saying “You Guys”")
![In their article Queer Blogging in Indian Digital Diasporas, authors Rahul Mitra and Radhika Gajjala carefully avoid falling into the trap of digital dualism, explicitly stating that “by blogging, [members of the Indian Queer community] have not somehow transported into a “virtual reality” that releases them from social, economic, political, material and discursive hierarchies.” However, what […]](https://files.eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3606/2012/11/15225851/Female-Masculinity-115x115.jpg "Gendered Spaces: Online and Off")
