Overall, the topics were very diverse and unique! I wanted to comment more about Jess' presentation on co-ed dorms. I had no idea that Liz Waters was recently turned into a co-ed dorm. I think it would be a great addition to your paper if you could find any information on that. I thought the idea about co-ed rooms was really interesting and controversial. With that topic, I agree that it could be incorporated into your paper by the structure you had: history, co-ed dorms, and co-ed rooms.
Great job everyone! :)
I wish I could have made it to class on Monday, because these topics seemed really interesting.
ReplyDeleteI personally would have liked to have heard about Jess' topic. I say this because I never really thought of this topic before, it just comes naturally like walking to a familiar route. Also, I don't think you should include this in your paper because it would detract from your overarching argument, but I've always personally wondered how schools handle gender identification during sex segregation processes. Meaning, if one identified as being female although being biologically male, which group they had to be clustered with.
Additionally, I think this topic is great because it allows for intense research of its history, which will probably be more interesting than my research because it is more decade related and its politics, rather than what my topic is...
