Asking big questions of feminisms: Edyta Just at Women's Worlds 2011

Polish professor Edyta Just explains the creative and critical transformation she underwent after becoming a student of gender studies and describes how she encourages such growth in others.

I happened upon Edyta Just near the end of the third day of Women's Worlds 2011 in July, in the hall where she was sitting at a table with books from the European ATGENDER association. She was presenting at the conference the next day, on a panel entitled, "Teaching with Gender: Asian and European Perspectives."

She expressed an interest in learning how to attract more students into Gender/Women's/Feminist Studies during our interview. She complained about the misconceptions about the field, "those crazy feminists that want to send all the men to hell," and how once people become familiar with it those misconceptions fade away and are replaced with a new process of learning.
