Greetings From Your Instructor

My name is Megan and I will be your instructor for SOC 344 - Sociology of Women's Health. I'm so glad you decided to enroll in this class and I'm looking forward to our journey together. I’m very excited to teach this class!  This class is a culmination of my experiences working in women-controlled community health care, feminist-centered research, and advocacy-based learning.  Through this class, I hope to provide you a community to share your experiences and to learn from others, to celebrate and empower ourselves, and to gain a knowledge that stays with you throughout your life. 

With an emphasis on, though not limited to, female-identified bodies this class will focus on the body politic.  We will explore the socio-political-cultural impacts on access, body image, self identity, and overall health.  We will look at the connection between that which is personal and that which is political.  I hope this class serves as a catalyst to learn more about yourself and our communities. Here’s to a great semester!!

Sincerely,  Megan
