"I do believe I've popped a cap in your buttocks, sir"

Let’s talk about sex…and gender and more!

Hey, hey, fellow AU students!

It’s been a while since a full on post, but it’s thesis season and it’s hard enough to remember to shower every once in a while…

Anyway, I wanted to tell you about something I heard about a few weeks ago that really caught my interest. For those of you who don’t know, there is a Women’s Museum (Kvindemuseet) right smack dab next to the Domkirke, which I’m sure you’re all familiar with in downtown Aarhus. I’ll tell you more about the museum later, but for now, let’s focus on something that could really potentially happen if we give the museum some support.

GENDER AND QUEER STUDIES. Yup, that’s right! The Women’s Museum would love to start a lecture series on gender and queer studies, something that doesn’t even exist as a full study program at Aarhus University. The best part is that they want to design the lectures for international students, as well as Danish students at AU. As we all know, money is tight these days, especially for public institutions, so in order to make these lecture series happen, the museum has to prove a demand for it. That’s where YOU come in!

All you have to do is click HERE to take their survey and make sure to indicate that you are interested in the lecture series (and go ahead and click anything else you’d like while you’re at it). It just takes 1 minute!

But maybe you’re thinking, “Hmm, why the hell should I take a survey for a museum I ain’t ever heard of?” Well, no more excuses, because you’re about to get told.

Cyclers beware!

Bike Fail

In case you hooligans out there biking around Aarhus care to know, the police are gonna be on close look out for shenanigans on the bike paths. Running a red light,  forgetting your lights or cycling on a pedestrian crossing could cost you a nice fine. The campaign started yesterday morning and is supposed to end by the start of next week.

It’s just too bad that not ringing your bell when you pass me isn’t worthy of a ticket…

Woohoo! A New Study Centre!

In case you haven’t heard, us students from the Faculty of Arts have a swanky new Study Centre where we can go to pester them with questions about administration stuff and whatnot. I have yet to visit, but the pictures look action-packed with study guidance. Turbo guidance!! Check out the homepage here.

Oh yeah, we also have a new study portal here. It doesn’t take you to another time or dimension, but it’s still pretty handy. It’s good timing too, because I’ll probably be using both of these new services soon. MA thesis, here I come to conquer you!
