After hearing proposals from the rest of the class today I was inspired to select a topic that is more personal and relevant to my current life. I am selecting this topic based on a recent experience of mine that left me reevaluating a lot of things about myself and my friends and society as a whole. I experienced a situation where I felt extremely out of control.
I've always felt really comfortable with my sexuality and sex, but this experience was like a chemical reaction, in a way. An entirely new element has been created from the combination of events that took place in my life. However, I don't want the focus of this project to be on myself...I am merely using my experience as a guideline, as a starting point to relate to others and understand their situations. I want to research victim blaming and the stigmas attached to rape. Also, I am interested in the views of establishments such as the VCU student health department and I'm curious to work with them because I question some of their methods.
