Laurie Essig
GSFS
I found this course to be truly valuable. Laurie is lovely and very passionate about the material. She also grades mostly off completion which takes a lot of pressure off. The readings are long but generally interesting and engaging.
Essig is a great instructor to have once at Midd. She’s a ver engaging lecturer and you can easily get away with not doing much of the readings and still do very well in the course. I took this course because I was drawn in by the novelty of the subject material and while I’m not sure how much this challenged my preexisting viewpoints the material was fun. For a 300 level course I sometimes wish we went deeper into the material.

This was my favorite gender studies class. The professor was great and enthusiastic about the material, and she helped us connect the theory to our own lives which was very useful and unique to the course.
