“Dr. Chadwick truly exemplifies the qualities of an outstanding educator and mentor. Their passion for Psychology and Gender & Women’s Studies is not only evident in the way they teach but also in how they engage students with thought-provoking discussions and real-world applications. One instance that stands out to me was during our unit on intersectionality and sexual identity, where Dr. Chadwick encouraged us to critically analyze how societal norms and power dynamics shape individuals’ experiences with sexuality and gender. This experience not only deepened my understanding of the material but also inspired me to pursue further opportunities about how intersectional perspectives can inform social policy and advocacy. Beyond their teaching, Dr. Chadwick has been a steadfast mentor, offering invaluable guidance on academic and career decisions. ”
“Through [GWS 528], Prof Chadwick answered so many of the questions on sexuality and the scientific enterprise that I have long wondered about and did so with a critical approach, enthusiasm, and genuine care for her students. She also gave us the invaluable technical skills to continue this line of inquiry on our own. After each class, I would send a series of impassioned texts to my friends and family about the awe-inspiring/ mortifying/ challenging/ invigorating/ confusing topic we learned about that day! And then over dinner, I would do the same with my housemates. This is what true learning feels like!”
