Currently, I’m reading “Professional Identity Crisis: Race, Class, Gender and Success at Professional Schools” and it has gotten me to think more about our identities as feminist scholars in training and how our schooling is preparing us for these roles. I do not think we have been re-socialized in terms of clothing and body in the same way that students at professional schools change their clothing and bodies. I however, believe we are being re-socialized by the readings we have been assigned and the discussions we have in class. All of us have admitted to being challenged by the long list of things we must do when conducting our research. I would argue that these challenges are the women’s studies version of forming professional identities. Are there any other traits we should be re-socialized towards obtaining? And is re-socialization necessary for us to become good feminist scholars?
