How and when did you encounter Women's
Studies?
“I first became involved in women's
issues when I volunteered at a domestic violence shelter in college, but really
started learning more through my clinical work with eating disorders in
graduate school and during my residency at Medical College of Georgia. While on my fellowship with Emory I started
to learn more about feminist psychology and the importance of race, gender, and
class through my work with AIDS patients. When I came to Berry I asked to teach the course Psychology of Women,
which is a cross listed course. This was
when I became fully immersed in Women's Studies and fell in love with the
discipline.”
