I adored Professor Lindsay. She is such a kind woman and knows her stuff! I could listen to her talk about intersectionality all day. My course, Black Feminisms, was writing heavy, but she set it up so that we had to meet with writing fellows. This bothered me at first, but being forced to stay on top of things helps you keep up!

Professor Lindsay was such a sweetheart. She was really knowledgeable on every topic within feminism and really pushed us to critically look at ways we've looked at feminism in the past. She did a good job at helping us through dense readings (there were about 2 to 3 dense readings a week). Really enjoyed her class!
