Littrell Writes BDN Article on Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies

Nicolle Littrell, a University of Maine women’s studies educator and Belfast filmmaker, wrote an article for the Bangor Daily News about UMaine’s Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program. Her article examines five common misconceptions about the discipline that persist despite recent curriculum changes that reflect a broader, more inclusive approach to programming. Some of the myths are addressed in a new video campaign from the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program titled, “This is what a UMaine Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Student Looks Like,” according to the article. The campaign launches Tuesday, April 21, in the Bangor Room of the Memorial Union.
