Hey GSS alums, this is what the first-ever GSS Major had to say about how what she learned in GSS impacts her approach to and performance in her current job. You are all invited to DM or email a couple sentences on the same topic, to be shared with prospective GSS students.

Another superstar GSS Core faculty member producing field-defining research that gets highly competitive funding 👑🤓❤️ Congratulations to @RoseStremlau and your collaborator @jreedmo !!!

[Davidson GSS @Davidson_GSS]

GSS Core faculty @profsuroberts gives a thorough, lucid account of how we got to a post-Roe America, what the future likely holds for activism, and what abortion access is likely to look like in our state, unless people mobilized by reproductive freedom turn out the vote.

Free access below to Prof SC's article on G. Bennet, a Black writer-artist who "recognized [Josephine Baker] as a familiar model of Black female selfhood." A powerful counterpoint to the white media's racist, exotifying caricatures of Baker.

Prof Kaufman’s @gakaufman22 recent article is an *award-winning* piece helping us understand what is at stake in parental leave policy! 👏🥳🤓

[Gayle Kaufman @gakaufman22]

Thanks @FRSjournal for this honour! If you want to read this award winning article 😊 see here: https://t.co/jrMlhMatfW
Main finding: taking parental leave and making work adjustments are part of 'good parenting' in Sweden but only 'good mothering' in UK

@drlaurian Our students are 🧠 🤓 💡 and they bring so much to discussion.

[Davidson GSS @Davidson_GSS]

Your Honors thesis was brilliant and so are you! 🌈 🧠 🤓

[Davidson GSS @Davidson_GSS]

Absolutely brilliant 💫🔥 Honors Presentation today by the already accomplished queer/trans/critical race studies scholar @raven_mhc 🤓📚📖📕 We are so proud of you 👏!!!

[Davidson GSS @Davidson_GSS]

@raven_mhc We have learned so much from you and your work, both scholarly and activist. 🎓💘

[Davidson GSS @Davidson_GSS]

Alex's work makes a fascinating comparison between rape myth acceptance and hook-up culture attitudes, and we are so excited to see what she does post-graduation!

[Davidson GSS @Davidson_GSS]

Alex Aiello’s innovative study of how college students navigate consent and pleasure across the full spectrum of their gender and sexual identities collects and analyzes important quantitative and qualitative data. We are forever proud of you!

[Davidson GSS @Davidson_GSS]

Also, your title is the bomb: “Open Wounds, Open Mouths: Identity and Melancholia in Queer Asian American Poetics” ❣️

[Davidson GSS @Davidson_GSS]

Raven Hudson’s perceptive and elegantly argued Honors thesis, which productively asks what we can learn about melancholia and identity by reading queer Asian American poetry as theory. We are forever proud of you!

Join us this Wednesday at 5:30 for the 2021 Sally G. McMillen lecture by Prof. Semley on “France and the Challenge of Black Citizenship.”She’ll discuss how recent global calls for racial justice are not new, but entrenched in the gendered histories of slavery & colonialism.
