I emailed Julia this question:
"We want to know why your parents thought it was important for you to participate in a 'gender-inclusive' sport. What did they not like about the idea of a separate league for women?"
And she responded:
"It was for a variety of reasons, but the most prominent one was that
in everyday life men and women have to interact, and my parents
thought it would be good to be exposed to the opposite sex early on.
I'm really glad they did because I enjoy working with both men and
women, and while there are some benefits to isolating sports by
gender, overall I think I grew as a person by working with and
competing against both."
Hello Prof. Stovall,
My name's Julia Landauer, and I was interviewed by feministing.com
back in January. I saw that you assigned your students to read my
article, (which is incredibly flattering) and it led me to your blog.
I just wanted to let you know that I now follow it, as I find your
posts very interesting reads. It's really cool that you have your
students following those blog sites.
Take care,
Julia
