| What's the color of your collar?
Come discuss the changing face of what blue and white collar work is in the
US. How does this affect how students interact with each other, depending on
background. How does this affect how students interact with service staff at
Rice, and what campus climate does this create? | | |
| For Owl Weekend's Friday Meeting:
Chivalry: sexist roots or courtesy? Double standard or practical?
What originated as a code of conduct for battle in the middle ages has
warped into a contemporary idea of gendered behavior. Does chivalry
perpetuate sexism? Is it a good rule of thumb What are the roles in same sex
relationships? Is there still an expectation for chivalrous behavior today?
Come discuss! | | |
