Speak Up, Speak Out: Kara Landuyt

“Women's Studies has changed my life! The theories and ideas discussed in classes have provided me with a totally different way of looking at the world. Contrary to popular opinion, Women's Studies and feminism are not about male-bashing and female dominance. Feminism values equality for all people. All of my professors have been approachable and knowledgeable; I could sit and listen to them lecture for hours! Women's Studies courses have been unlike any other courses I've taken because I can apply everything I learn in class to my own life. The classroom experience involves lectures, discussions, movies, presentations, and guest speakers. It's about being able to apply the knowledge you gain rather than simply memorizing it. My favourite courses have been Women and Canadian Society, Women, Race, and Social Justice, and Women's Bodies, Women's Health. I wholeheartedly recommend Women's Studies to anyone, even if it's just one course − but the more the better!”
