My name is Jasmine Becerril. I am a freshman at Hunter and intend to major in Nursing. My parents are both from Mexico, a country which I know to be patriarchal. I hope this class broadens my perspective on how and why gender and sexuality play diverse roles in different countries and cultures.

Hello my name is Sarah Bourabah. I am an upper sophomore pursing a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science. My parents are from Morocco which is an Arabic speaking country located in Northern Africa. I have several different passions in life, some of which include programming. I hope I can be able to better understand how operating systems work.  I enrolled in this class to gain a better understanding of the history of our genders, and how they have evolved over time.

My name is Leslier Uribe. I am a transfer student from LaGuardia Community College. This is my first semester at Hunter College where I major in Biology. I am from Colombia and I have been living in the U.S for seven years. Coming from a different country and culture gender seem to play an important role because the behavior of people changes depending on their own ideas about gender. Since I am a woman I am interested to learn the various perspectives of the role of women in a society.

My name is Joy Euam and I am a senior nursing student at the Hunter Bellevue School of Nursing. I was born in South Korea and came to the US at the age of 10. Therefore, I sometimes feel that I am part of two different cultures. I am excited to learn about the issue of gender and sexuality and examine it from multiple perspectives, including the impact of culture and race.

Hi my name is Keithlyn. I am from Brooklyn, New York. I am a transfer student from BMCC. I attended Hunter College to earn my degree as a clinical biochemist. I long for this profession so that I can help find the cure for cancer. Growing up in the Caribbean you were told which family members, neighbors and friends died from this disease. In addition, my mom even confess her tragic story of losing  her best friend; this motivated me to pursue my profession so that I can help bring closure and comfort to my mom. I know she will be happy and proud of me to know we have finally found the cure to this growing epidemic. Nevertheless, we will save millions from the growing pain and heartache.
