I'm also interested in how gender studies could give me a broader perspective and help me professionally. What an excellent recommendation for those in human resources! (Or like our classmate in Public Relations) In my previous job I handled all of the human resource duties and I think I would have benefited from a better understanding of gender and how each communicates. HR is based on communication, so much so in my last job that I received a rating on my communication skills which helped determine my raise! (It was one of the top five categories in promoting!) I think it is a step in the right direction for employers to encourage this type of education. Of course, I think gender studies will also broaden personal viewpoints as well. Just in posting these Eureka moments we’re forced to examine our own lives and how gender and communication play a vital role. I’m looking forward to it.
