Welcome!

Hi, everyone! Welcome to Gender & Women's Studies 251, Coming of Age. My name is Adriane Brown, but feel free to call me Adriane. I'm a PhD candidate in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at The Ohio State University, so I'll be teaching this class from Columbus, Ohio--go Bucks!

As you know, the class will meet entirely online. Course readings, discussion boards, and the like will be available on our D2L site early next week. Expect the syllabus to be posted to this blog by tomorrow (Saturday) night.

If you'd like to get started on your readings, you can begin with the introduction to Catherine Driscoll's book Girls. As a general note, I'll assign readings weekly, which will be due by the end of the following weekend (so, for example, the Driscoll piece, along with a few others, are assigned for the first week of classes and I'll expect that they're completed by next Sunday, January 16th).

If you need to contact me, feel free to email me at brown.2997@osu.edu.

Looking forward to the class!
