About me

Hi everyone! My name is Jamie. I’m a sophomore English communications major at Umass Dartmouth from New Bedford Massachusetts.

I’m studying Eco Feminism / Women and Gender Studies because I feel very passionate about intersectional feminism and true equality for all. It’s the core of what we need for a society that is efficient and just.  I am eager to expand my knowledge in this area of society as it’s really important!

One blogger that caught my eye was “Angry Girl Feminist.” I was immediately drawn to her name and it stood out to me the most because of it’s originality to all the other blogpost titles and users. Her article:  “Looking for Mr. Goodbar” was intriguing because of the passion that was so clear in her writing. I liked her introduction which gave a preface to the history of women’s oppression through gender roles in society. This same passion and knowledge is something I would like to portray within my own writing.

However, one thing I had an issue with in this article is AngryGirl’s negatively connotated usage of the term “homosexual.” Prejudice or homophobia of any kind is something  that I will absolutely steer clear of in my writing (obviously).

One environmental issue that is relevant to where I live, as well as anywhere in the world, is climate change. Climate change is a huge threat to society and to the world as we all know it, and it’s only getting worse. Scientists say that we have until 2030 to reverse the damage before it is too late – and we will face severe consequences. I would like to see more activism about climate change not just where I live, but also everywhere in the world.
