My theme directly connects the lens of gender studies with a study of theology, so I will also be taking several classes in each of these departments. I am also fulfilling my early and late SFS history requirements with Africa I and Africa II, in order to contextualize my knowledge of present-day struggles across the continent. By involving a variety of disciplines in my area of study, I will be able to learn…
