Her classes were fun and engaging. The texts were difficult and she always led from a place of understanding basics first before digging in, which was refreshing and helpful.",

Her classes are big on implementing different feminist theories, but she finds really fun ways to teach theory in a way that is approachable. I would literally take any class taught by her.",

The grading was very fair, and there was a lot of reading, but if you fall behind just go to lecture and you'll be fine. I would go out of my way to take her class again. ",
