Awful
Professor Rakes makes class incredibly confusing. They tend to ramble, and never let the students discuss. In the class they aggressively push their political agenda, and belittle students who ask for clarification. I found that even if we get the chance to take, no one speaks because it is not a safe space. Also, the canvas is an absolute mess, and the criteria are not clear at all.

Oregon State University - Women's Studies
Education:
Ph.D., 2012, Philosophy, DePaul University

H. Rakes earned her PhD at DePaul University in Philosophy. Her research areas include queer theory, queer of color critique, disability studies, trans studies, and women of color feminisms—especially the convergences of these fields. Her most recent publication provides a reading of neocolonial neoliberal flexibility as a practice of white privilege and other forms of privilege by the character Piper Chapman in Orange is the New Black. The article is published in the collection Feminist Perspectives on Orange is the New Black: Thirteen Critical Essays, edited by April Kalogeropoulos Householder and Adrienne Trier-Bieniek.
