About the Site

Welcome to Not a Trivial Pursuit! This site is an online repository for student-created projects that emerged out of Dr. Carly Thomsen’s Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies classes, primarily at Middlebury College.

​

Students created each project in our database as part of a translation assignment, in which students convert— or translate— academic texts into an alternative format and for an audience beyond our classroom. After the semester in which students initially created their projects, they often ended up sitting on a shelf— despite the assignment’s focus on the translation and circulation of ideas!

 

We created this online hub in hopes that it will extend access to these projects and serve as a resource for other teachers and professors committed to curricular innovation, as well as community organizers, and high school and college students looking for fun ways to engage feminist and queer studies ideas.
