From the
If you're one of the estimated 25 million Americans who sweated
over their NFL fantasy football lineups this weekend, chances are
around four to one that you're male. That's the starting point for Dr.
Sarah Winslow's intriguing Thoughts Worth Thinking presentation on
Wednesday, September 30 (7pm, Academic Success Center Room
313).
Many of you know Dr. Winslow from her sociology classes and Honors seminars, or through her roles as Interim Director of the National Scholars Program and as the Faculty member in residence at
Holmes Hall. Her academic work focuses on inequality in society,
particularly with regard to gender.
The Thoughts Worth Thinking series is one of many opportunities
that Clemson and the Honors College provide to encourage you to
learn beyond the classroom. I strongly encourage you to take advantage of such opportunities to engage with a new issue, or to rethink a familiar one. There are several interesting lectures advertised in today's newsletter, and in virtually every other newsletter
throughout the year.
I hope to see you at one of these events. And good luck with your
fantasy teams next weekend!
