My name is Amanda and I am currently a senior at Rhode Island College pursuing degrees in psychology and chemical dependency/addiction studies (CDAS) and a minor in gender and women's studies. My reasons for taking this course are twofold: to fulfill a requirement for my gender and women's studies minor and to increase my awareness of class issues and how gender, racial and other dimensions of identity intersect with class. My hope is that this course will help me to become a more empathic and competent future clinician by forcing me to reflect on societal and personal constructions of class.
When I am not in class, I can be found doing any of the following: hanging out with family and friends, reading, knitting, ballroom dancing with my boyfriend, working at my local public library, or suggesting sponges as a cashier at your favorite store. With regards to break, it was busy and went by too fast; however, I am looking forward to the things that this semester has to offer!
