    2012 - 10.27

    For anyone wishing to take another look at it, or to pass it along to others, here‘s the piece we read in class today, Emma Woolley’s “What it’s like being a teen girl.”  After the post went viral, she wrote a brief thank-you followup that’s worth reading.

    Here‘s the piece Jess mentioned, “An Account of Sexual Assault at Amherst College.”  And here‘s a good piece on the term ‘rape culture’ (wikipedia entry here), which I invoked a couple times in class today to describe the cultural and institutional status quo Woolley’s piece targets.

    Thanks, once more, for the wonderful discussion today.
