I have read about feminist theory throughout history, feminist ontology, and the feminist perspective, which are all fascinating domains of feminism that I’ve never learned much about. I still need some clarification around the concept of feminist ontology, but overall I felt so engaged by these ideas and the material felt so naturally interesting to me. For fun, I’ve also reread some excerpts of Roxanne Gay’s Bad Feminism, which I adore. Internally, I’d like to speak with Ms. Benedict about what impact the texts that I analyze had on feminists, I’d ask Ms. Broderick for her perspective on the feminist texts I choose to analyze and what has catalyzed each feminist generation to pioneer a new wave of feminism, and I would ask Dr. Holt if she could historically contextualize the feminist texts and feminist figures I choose to study. I’d also like to talk to Sophie Ceniza and Gabriella Jones about their own relationship with feminism. Specifically, I’d ask Sophie when she first realized that feminism was important to her, what that looked like in her life then, and what role feminism plays in her life now. I’d also ask Sophie if there were any firsthand experiences she had when she was younger that shaped the way she thought about the necessity of feminism. I’d like to ask Gabriella what led her to become a part of the women’s movement and what it is like to participate in protests and events that promote equality. These external conversations would mostly be for me to understand how the feminist figures that I’m studying could have been thinking or feeling and how certain experiences can drive people to believe in different things. I need to have a discussion with Dr. Holt about her latest comment on my project narrative draft and narrow my project down to one of the options she listed, as I like them all. After I talk with Dr. Holt, I need to brainstorm and write down specific questions I have that will further my thinking in the mode of feminist research that I choose.
