Coming in to this class I had minimal to no background in any religion. I had a passion for women and gender studies already, so my notions of Islam were very much shaped by the media I had consumed up to this point.
I suppose, after this class I want to strive to better understand different gender relations through the lens of Islam. From the book club I gained insight into this topic but I do hope to dive deeper.
I find myself most motivated by trans and intersex studies so I would hope to learn more about that. In the future I want to be an advocate for those people. And I hope I can use the studies we did in this class to help me do that.
