Dr. Widman


Having a professor come in that has committed his life to researching the ideas that we have been discussing on a biological level was a delightful experience even with the few problems that popped up though the discussion. Often times I find our class discussing weather or not research is valid and arguing about semantics when we are really just trying to focus on the question that is at hand. Today I was delighted by the responses that Dr. Widman gave, and I thought throughout the lecture that his descriptions about the information was very useful and articulated well for students that may not have had the background to follow without this type of assistance. While the readings about gender and biology were interesting, I thought they were often still trying to make some type of gendered argument instead of just saying what the statistics were on a subject. It was very refreshing to get this new perspective on the topics that we were attempting to go through.
