Things that have nothing to do with inhumanity

Ah, Uni.
I love Uni.

My fave course is probably, and funnily enough, the Feminism and Law course.
The lecturer is political and angry.
I love that.
She gave us a quick overview of the different kinds of feminism we'll be using in order to interpret a law and the feminist issues surrounding certain laws in Israel and what its societal affect is.
So cool!
One of the articles I'm reading at the moment, and taking a break from, is about "Honour" Killings in the Arab/Palestinian sector is Israel.
Can I just say the injustice if fucking infuriating!
Another article is about the clashes of different kinds of feminism in Israel - like the The Israel Womens Network and the anti-militarism organisations, like New Profile.
Fascinating I tell you.

The Lit. classes are getting a more interesting and they're still intros and I think they will only get interesting next year when I'm done learning what the tools are and actually use them in a way I find interesting.
So, less fascinating so far, but we'll be talking about Marxism and social atmosphere as a way to interpret a text in front of us, and not just look at the way it looks or structured "physically" - like in Formalism (bleh).
Okay, so it is a little fascinating.

Did I mention I love Uni?!

hey! so.. it seems you are studying law? i am applying to law school now and thinking of doing a semester or two in an israeli law school (was thinking ta or jerusalem) my second and/or third years. do u know, what are the differences btwn these two unis in terms of law dept? (on the OFF chance that u have any idea :)) ie- do they have different reps in terms of radicalism, difficulty, activism, presence of minorities (arab, ethiopian), anything? also- do they ever offer summer courses, that u are aware of? sorry for all the questions, but if u can shed light that would be awesome! actually, after writing all this out, i realize i should send a mass email to friends and family to ask them.. but the questions just came to my mind after reading what u wrote. any thoughts on these two unis and their law depts is much appreciated, though not expected. :)

Actually I'm doing a double in Lit and Women Studies. The Women Studies is an interdisciplinary program with courses from many faculties, one of them Law.
So, sorry I can't help you in that regard, but if you go to the respective websites:
http://www.tau.ac.il (Tel Aviv U, my Uni, respect!)
http://www.huji.ac.il (Hebrew U in Jerusalem, where my sisters studied) and check it out and contact the students who represent the Law Faculty in each University.

Do you have a reference for the different types of feminism in Israel article? I'd really like to get a copy.

At the moment the lecturer only gave us to read articles that give a broad inroduction to the different kinds of feminism in general, but she did mention an article that gave an overview to the way those feminisms come into play in Israel.
I'll ask her about on Friday (when I have a class with her) and send you a copy :)

That would be great, thanks!!

Those courses sound really interesting - a politically engaged and informed lecturer is always great. Don't overlook the Formalist analysis, though - I didn't even study it until third year English, and it turned out to be fantastic basis for analysis, even when just using it to disagree, or understand why someone's analysis seems so antithetical to the politics of the text. I wish I'd studied it earlier!
