About My Social Location


I have chosen to use the Augusta Mall as my social location for this project.  I work at Barnes and Noble bookstore in the mall, spending about twenty hours a week there.  I work in food service at the bookstore’s café and with mostly other white females.  As an entry-level employee, I do not have much power over my situation.  My café manager is a white male and most of the managers above him are also white males.  While I don’t frequent the mall outside of the bookstore when not at work, I do spend a lot of my time during my lunch break walking between the bookstore and the food court.

The following pictures will show and analyze how key concepts in the field of Women’s Studies or Gender Studies are active in this environment.
