If you are part of the Stanford Feminist Studies community, you well know the range of scholarship and activities we encourage and produce. But did you know that you don’t have to major or minor in Feminist Studies to write an Honors Thesis in our program? Did you know that the Feminist Studies program is one of the only programs where students can submit a creative thesis? The work of our Honors candidates often includes issues of race, class, sexuality, and power, and past Honors graduates have submitted work that ranges from a Science-Fiction novel examining notions of masculinity to an extensive ethnography on the intersections of power and technology for sex laborers in South Asia. What will you write? Join us for an open Advisory Meeting with Honors Mentor Jakeya Caruthers. We’ll answer any questions and give guidance on the application process, finding and articulating a topic, taking an interdisciplinary approach, exploring alternative thesis formats, locating resources to support your work, what makes an Honors thesis different from other writing, and much more! Food will be served. Note: If you’re unable to attend the advisory meeting, the Honors Mentor is available for answering any questions. Drop in on Thursdays from 1pm-2pm or contact Jakeya Caruthers at jakeyac@stanford.edu.
