Hello everyone! My name is Laura and I am addicted to artificially flavored coffee. I love hockey. I love reading and watching amazing films over and over again. I like the feeling of bare feet against cold sheets. I crave new experiences. I am a senior at CSUDH majoring in Communications: Media Studies with a minor in Women’s Studies. I initially wanted to be a filmmaker but since CSUDH did not have a film program I decided to step out of my comfort zone and give the communications department a shot. I decided that although I would still love to make films in the future that I also want to write for Feminist Media Studies and conduct research. I am interested in writing about the role media plays in perpetuating rape culture. I have always been interested in taking a Chicano studies course and since its my senior year it was now or never (or until grad school) and this one in particular interested me.
Hi Laura,
I’m happy to see I’m not the only feminist! I feel like there are so many issues women have to face and I love when people can get together, discuss them and find solutions. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with Professor Vera-Rosas here at CSUDH. She teaches a great course about women in society, particularly women of color.
You should check it out.
Hey Laura!
I love your name 😉 haha You sound like such a fun person. I too am a Feminist who loves coffee! I really hope to come across some of your work. 🙂
Hello Laura, like you I am also a senior and Women Studies Minor as well. I love your interested for Feminist Media Studies and in film. I think it is very important to discuss the rape culture in the Media because it is a subject that is not much talked about. Hopefully soon I will see your work in the media.
