My goals for Paideia this semester are fairly simple: continuing the engaging discussions, and learning interesting things and perspectives from my cohort. I have already achieved my intercultural experience when I went to Dublin in the fall of 2009, and I would say that I learned a great deal there, and I am so grateful for the opportunity. Our civic engagement we accomplished as a group working with the Boys and Girls Club of Georgetown, which was an incredibly rewarding and eye-opening experience.
As for my creative work or project, I am planning on using my capstone thesis as my requirement for that. I am taking Liberalism and it's discontents with Dr. Mariotti, and I am thrilled to do an extensive study of the idea of liberalism from the perspective of those less enchanted with the concept. Specifically, I would like to focus of discontent from the perspective of a women, and study the gender hierarchy within and perhaps inherent to the concept of Liberalism.
