Description
What’s wrong with being a feminist? I found myself asking this question many times and that is what led me to conduct my research project. I wanted to delve deeper into the subject and find out how feminism was perceived within a contemporary college campus such as Marquette University. I conducted interviews, observation fieldnotes, and drew information from secondary sources to complete this project. It was only after I analyzed the data that had I collected that I came up with the conclusion that many people within a contemporary college setting have limited knowledge on the subject and therefore perceive it negatively. It is for this reason that I proposed that Marquette incorporate more readily available resources pertaining to feminism and other gender studies as well as add classes that provide information on the topic.
