Fashioning the Body: Versions of the Citizen, the Self, and the Subject

How fun was it to be able to take the time and create your own gender identity through craft!  I personally enjoyed using my hands to create something that was tangible versus just discussing about it.  We did have an opportunity to share our thoughts and ideas regarding our gender figure, but it was a lot of fun to use different mediums like paper, scissors, glue, etc.  The identity I chose was that of the typical girl wearing the dress like you see on the bathroom signs.  My skin was orange, the dress was blue, and I put yellow hiking boots on.  I wanted to symbolize that I chose the girl identity, but I don't like too much frill.  Also, I added the hiking boots because I enjoy the outdoors and love to rock climb.  I had a great time putting my identity together. Thank you facilitators :)
