How has being a WGSS graduate from Emory shaped your life and career?

Being a WGSS graduate from Emory has shaped my entire career path, and continues to inform how I approach decisions in every day life. It motivated me to pursue a career in social work and public health, with the goal of incorporating intersectional feminist theory and knowledge learned through the major into the field of Psychology, a historically white, western discipline. My studies in WGSS continue to push me to think critically about existing social structures and to further my own education regarding social justice and activism.
