My Students

"I'm a feminist!" These simple but powerful words of identity spoken by the black male students who "graduate" from my gender studies class are some of the most beautiful student outcomes I can hope for. I teach Gender Studies at the high school level in the South Bronx and students vie to be in the class. Creating a safe space where students can discuss gender bias is not easy, but I think it's vitally important. My students come from families in poverty and are all black or latino or mixed race. Together we discuss issues of gender inequality and the intersection of gender and race discrimination. My students bring new perspectives to the conversations and activities I plan for class each day.

My Project

My students are dying for their own personal copies of The Handmaid's Tale for our novel unit in Women's Voices/Gender Studies, an upper-level ELA class for students in grades 10-12.

We are located in the South Bronx and don't have unlimited funding to buy each student a book, but it's so much more powerful for students to have their own copy to write in while we read and to keep in their personal libraries.

This unit has been a favorite in the past, and I anticipate students wanting to keep their books after reading them (as has happened in years past). Please help make this a dream come true for my students.
