Scholarships For Teachers At The Nwsa Convention, Sue Elwell, Patti Lather

Women's Studies Quarterly

Despite the fact that approximately 70 percent of those being trained in schools of education are women, most schools of education, as Florence Howe has recently pointed out (Harvard Educational Review, Special Issue on Women, vol. 49, no. 4, November 1979), have been resistant to the impact of the women's movement. This situation underscores the mandate of NWSA to reach out to public school educators, who play a crucial role in either perpetuating or counteracting sex stereotyping and the low aspirations of women.

The plan to involve more preK-12 teachers in the Second NWSA Convention began with the …

A Journalist's Personal View Of The Nwsa Convention, Ann Colbert

Women's Studies Quarterly

For me, the National Women's Studies Association Convention this May was many things: for me as an Indiana University News Bureau writer, it was a chance to generate publicity both about the Convention and about the university; for me as a member of the Women's Studies Program Coordinating Committee, it was the culmination of a great deal of hard work which began last fall and continued through the Convention; for me as a returning woman student, it was an affirmation of much that had helped me grow into an effective human being. When asked to write about the Convention, I …

The Astraea Foundation: A New Resource For Women, Nancy Dean

Women's Studies Quarterly

In 1977 a group of 12 women from New York and Connecticut formed The Astraea Foundation to support the efforts of women to develop economic independence and foster personal well-being. The by-laws establish the Foundation as multiracial and multiethnic; its Central Board as at least 5O percent minority in membership; and its aim to provide financial assistance to those who have little access to funding. Now incorporated and tax exempt, the Foundation has completed its first disbursement cycle, awarding 55,000 to groups from the Northeast region of the country who fulfill its multiracial, multiethnic, and feminist criteria.

Where does the …

A Report On Research Sessions At The 1980 Nwsa Convention, Charol Shakeshaft

Women's Studies Quarterly

I cannot stress how important for . . . the future of human experience it is to take the development and explication of a feminine perspective in ... research seriously and to devote all our talents and energies collectively to its accomplishment. -Jane Anton

As research on women has increased, researchers have become increasingly concerned about how appropriate the existing research methodologies are for the study of women. In one of the earliest critiques, Rae Carlson argued that current research paradigms, which she characterized as involving manipulation, quantification, and control, not only impose restraints on the understanding of female psychology, …

Problems And Pleasures Of Prek-12 Involvement In Nwsa: A Report After The 1980 Convention, Martha Schultz

Women's Studies Quarterly

Women's studies is the educational strategy of a breakthrough in consciousness and knowledge. The uniqueness of women's studies has been its refusal to accept sterile divisions between academy and community, between the growth of the mind and the health of the body, between intellect and passion, between the individual and society.

Women's studies, then, is equipping women not only to enter society as whole and productive human beings, but to transform it....

The National Women's Studies Association actively supports and promotes feminist education, and supports all feminists involved in that effort, at every educational level and in every educational setting. …

Women's Studies Quarterly

FROM THE NATIONAL OFFICE

By Elaine Reuben

At the opening session of the 1980 NWSA Convention, Dale Spender urged U.S. feminist educators to educate themselves beyond national boundaries. She called for an extension of our consciousness-raising efforts to understand and appreciate differences within an international feminist movement: for our own sakes, as well as for our sisters around the globe.

In the Spring Newsletter editorial, Florence Howe noted the large questions and hard choices posed by a growing awareness of international developments in women's studies. "Should we be institution-building in the U.S. or helping, advising, missionizing, urging—and learning from—women's studies …

FROM THE STEERING COMMITTEE

Responding to the 1979 charge of the Finance Committee and the Delegate Assembly, the Coordinating Council devoted a major portion of its February 14-17 meeting in College Park to a discussion of finances. The clear intent of all sessions was the consideration of fiscal responsibility in terms of feminist principles and the goals of NWSA.

On February 13, several members of the 1979-80 Finance Committee (Liz Birch, Alice Stadthaus, Barbara Taylor, Mary Thornberry, and Robin Wright) met with the Steering Committee (Pat Gozemba, Jan Meriwether, and Kay Towns); the National Coordinator, Elaine Reuben; the National Staff …

Introduction To Women's Studies: New Textbook Being Developed At Hunter College, Nancy Dean, Sarah B. Pomeroy

Women's Studies Quarterly

The National Endowment for the Humanities has awarded a grant to the Women's Studies Program of Hunter College for the writing of a textbook and instructional manual for the basic course, "Introduction to Women's Studies." Unlike other comprehensive women's studies textbooks which are described as multidisciplinary but are actually collections of individual chapters, each written from the perspective of a single discipline, Hunter's books will be thoroughly interdisciplinary, with each chapter written collectively.

The nine authors, from four divisions of the college—Humanities and the Arts, Social Sciences, and the professional schools of Nursing and Education—are: Ulku Bates, Nancy Dean, Florence …

Reaching Out To The Community: The Mothers And Daughters Conference At Suny/New Paltz, Nancy Schniedewind

Women's Studies Quarterly

Last spring we held an intergenerational Mothers and Daughters Conference at SUNY/New Paltz that was attended by over 350 people, many of them grandmothers, mothers, and daughters from the same families. The impetus for the weekend conference had come from a group of women's studies faculty and students who, the Mother/ Daughter Relationship among Black mother / daughter relationship to a feminist during a discussion of the significant changes in our lives that involvement in women's studies had catalyzed, had begun to consider how exciting it would be if our mothers could share some of our new perspectives. At the …

Feminist Publishing In Israel, Marcia Freedman

Women's Studies Quarterly

Israel has a population of 3½ million people who, for the most part, speak, read, and write an ancient, patriarchal language recently revived and fortified by an infusion of new terms and even some new syntactic constructs. The result of this self-imposition of a parochial language upon a people who, as a people, had been at home in at least one European language as well as Yiddish and Ladino, was to transform the People of the Book into a rather ill-informed and culturally isolated society. The few channels of information from the West that do existmainly films and books-are institutionally …

Women's Studies And Science, Anne Fausto-Sterling

Women's Studies Quarterly

The following paper was originally a talk delivered at the Research Conference on Educational Environments and the Undergraduate Woman, sponsored by HERS , New England, at Wellesley College last year.

One manifestation of the rigid division of sex roles in our society is the fact that relatively few women are scientists, especially physical scientists and mathematicians. My interest in addressing the subject of women and the science curriculum stems from my desire to change this situation, to allow equal access of men and women into science. The college curriculum is only a small part of this problem. The different socialization …

Editorial: Toward Women's Studies In The Eighties: Part Two, F. H.

Toward Women's Studies in the Eighties: Part Two

In the last issue, we outlined a new challenge: infusing women's studies into general education and basic skills programs. Here, in an issue that includes a number of lists, we will offer one more editorially: a list of "understandings." The list below names the areas in which women's studies has developed "streams" of courses (disciplinary and interdisciplinary), and classifies areas of scholarship from which research agendas are emerging:

Rules Of Order: Or So To Speak, Arthur Emanuel Blank

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

How members of a social unit acquire their shared knowledge about the social world was approached in Sherif's (1935, 1936) writings on norm formation and in the phenomenological descriptions of Schutz (1971, 1973) and Berger and Luckmann (1967). Both traditions presume that shared understandings originate in face-to-face encounters, but they diverge in that the phenomenologists argue that talk, and the construction of "typifications," plays a prominent role in the acquisition of shared knowledge. For the phenomenologists, a "typification" enables members to categorize behavior as a known event and permits individuals to consider disparate behaviors as belonging to the same class …

The Early Development Of Quantitative Cognition: Correspondences And One-Way Functions, Irvin Sam Schonfeld

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This investigation was designed to examine the development of the child's capacity to make numerical and quantitative comparisons. It was hypothesized that the nature of the child's understanding of correspondences and one-way functions informs his capacity to compare arrays of decals and quantities of liquid. The relation of Piagetian operative level to the child's capacity to use crystallized skills, or solution aids (Cattell, 1963; Horn, 1968), in comparing arrays was also investigated.

A total of 171 children who ranged in age from four to seven years were administered numerical and liquid comparison tasks. The numerical tasks included paired arrays of …
