Post 7: An Expert on your field

It's difficult for me to mention an expert that I admire on my field or a teacher important in my formation as Social Worker. But I consider a person important in my studies, as a social worker and personal formation too, She is Judith Butler.

She is a  post-structuralism philosopher that  dedicates to investigate gender, feminism and queer theory. She was born 24th of February in 1956, in Cleveland, USA. She has written a lot of books, for example, Gender Trouble or Bodies that Matter: on the Discursive Limits of Sex.

I met her work in the university, because in the class me and my classmates read her book. It was obligatory and I like her theory proposes very much , as well as, I felt that theory can be useful for more than only a class or academic formation. This year, she came to Chile to show a seminary about gender and I could see her, this event motivated me to academic development and in the future works in this topic with investigations from the social work.
