Where does this woman get off making assumptions about the class / the syllabus / whatever else, without knowing the meat and bones of the class? First of all, Wendy Belcher is a fabulous professor, and highly sophisticated in her analysis of the intersections of race, class, and gender. And I’m not only saying this because she was my thesis advisor.

I must agree with you that the Jezebel post severely undermines the importance of what analyzing ALL the aspects of our culture and the different influences that go into why we believe the things we believe. Sure the title of the course seems very specific, but the implications of that specificity may be profound.

But I guess everybody’s a critic
