This has been a wonderful class and I have learned so much not only from my teacher and my independent research, but I have learned many valuable lessons from all of the peer editing sessions and group discussions in the classroom and on Zoom, as well. I always find that I learn something from my peers and it was especially helpful to have that sense of community and a safe space in a class that focuses on lifting marginalized voices.
