VI. Your Thoughts (submit these notes at the end of class)

1. What do you think some gender studies activists/scholars call themselves Hip Hop Feminists? What difference might that make? 
2. This is our culminating unit--- designed by Carmen--- as an attempt to bridge the many topics we have explored.  What would you do as a culminating unit?  Why?  What would you have us read and watch...and why?
