Prof. DasGupta is wonderful. She has a lot of experience with hands-on activism. All assignments were writing projects and he is very accessible outside of class. You can email her drafts and she will give you feedback. Most lectures are based on his experiences and class discussion. Lectures get more fun as more people engage in discussion.
Good professor who really makes you think. The course is very reading heavy but you can get by from just skimming (I don't recommend it but I did it so lol)
She is a trans studies scholar in South Asia. There is a lot of global transgender identity readings for the class. Reflection writing, book reviews and a final project. I loved that he used Zines & creative materials. Professor is very supportive of students and funny too
Easiest class I have ever taken and will ever take. Every assignment was some kind of writing, 4 1-page reflections, 1 2-page book review, and a 4-page final. I am a horrible writer but got a 100% on everything and in the class. Section is "mandatory" for a grade but it really just depends on your TA for grading.
Professor DasGupta is super nice however at times the class became a little unorganized which can be stressful. Overall he made good points in lecture but not a great job of clearly connecting back to the readings so a lot of the denser readings were a little confusing. Still an easy class as long as you meet with your TA to go over the assignments
The professor's cool. Lectures don't pertain to the coursework but they still are very interesting. Enjoyable readings and coursework.
