This Blog is meant to analyze the readings from Gender and Conflict as well as reflect upon the topics discussed in class.

The first day of class was already an interesting event that was not undertaken lightly by many. As a part of getting to know one each other we each had to do a standard introduction then something interesting about ourselves. Now the part that was so fascinating was that many of us had a hard time finding something about ourselves that we thought was valuable enough to share with a classroom of mostly strangers. Everyone eventually found something that they found valuable about them, but I hope for future classes that everyone is more easily able to share their experiences.

I believe there is much to learn from this classroom, and that the differences that we are most frightened to shared are the most important others can learn from.
