Campuswide colloquia (talks): Some of the best ways of learning about research are hearing from researchers themselves. Besides the visits from faculty this semester, you are also required to attend ONE colloquium around campus that in your best judgment involves some kind of feminist research during the course of the semester, and to write a 1000 word response to the talk (including what is often particularly interesting: the question and answer periodwhich follows the talk). 
When you write your 1000 word responses, don’t spendmore than 200 words retelling what was said, and don’t worry about parts that were difficult to understand; instead,remain as much in dialogue with the speaker as possible, responding in the terms you do understand. What do you think this speaker’s contribution to gender studies and/or feminist research is, given what  you know already about the field? Might you have done a different kind of project, given your own interests/investments, and why? What future research do you imagine for this line of inquiry?
