This blog is created by students from Clemson University's spring 2009 course Women's Studies 459 - "Building Bodies: Women's Bodies in Theory and Practice." This class explores the construction of bodies from various methodological perspectives, focusing on five specific areas: theories of bodies; bodies and genders and sexes; “misbehaving” bodies; politics of bodies; and constructing bodies. We welcome comments and contributions to our posts and discussions.

Comment on Julianne's House episode

My computer won't let me post comments. I've missed several over the course of the semester and just noticed it, so I'm posting this comment as a blog.
How old was the kid that the mother 'makes all the decisions'? I can sympathize with the hearing mother; I am grateful everyday that my son doesn't have a disability. It would be difficult to embrace that sort of thing, as a parent, likely more difficult than a child who has never heard before.

  1. The kid was in High School, to my eyes he looked like 16 or 17, but I bet they wanted to portray him as 14 or 15.
