Letter From The Road... At Oberlin College, Midway Point..., Margaret Randall

Women's Studies Quarterly

For three months last fall, Margaret Randall, American-born writer now resident in Cuba and well known for her bestselling Women in Cuba, toured more than 40 U.S. campuses. She began in mid-September at the universities of New Mexico and Arizona, and San Francisco State University, and concluded in late November at M.I.T., Wellesley, and Amherst. Her tour, coordinated by Phyllis Vine, historian at Sarah Lawrence College, testifies to the women's studies community's concern about feminism internationally, and to a broad campus interest in Cuba. At Oberlin, Randall, never a college student herself, taught a one-credit, one-week-long intensive course to 45 …

A Roundup Report On 1979 Summer Institutes In Women's Studies, Shirley Frank

Women's Studies Quarterly

Summer Institutes have become a tradition in women's studies, although, compared to the hundreds ofNDEA Institutes in the '60s, the numbers are still painfully few. This year Summer Institutes were held in Alabama, Arizona, New York, and Pennsylvania. Their goals were all similar: to give participants—primarily, but not only, teachers—an education in the history and literature of women, which were not part of the curriculum when they received their formal training; to acquaint them with new materials and methodologies developed by feminist scholars and educators; and to provide them with a supportive network within which to continue the work of …

American Indian Women Meet In Lawrence, Rayna Green

Women's Studies Quarterly

Twelve American Indian women held a special meeting at the NWSA Convention, partly to participate in a symposium on Indian women, and partly to formalize the organization of a network of academic Indian women. Not only did the Convention bring together some of the most active and distinguished Indian women in the country, but it offered a framework for discussion and planning that will have a positive impact on women's studies and Native American studies.

When, with Peg Strobel's strong encouragement and support, Clara Sue Kidwell (Chippewa-Choctaw) and I (Cherokee) began to plan the state-of-the-art symposium on Indian women, we …

Teachers' Institute For Equality In Education Held At The University Of Arizona, Myra Dinnerstein, Brenda Even, Betty Newlon, Sherry O'Donnell

Women's Studies Quarterly

Women from the Tucson community and the University of Arizona collaborated to design a two-week Teachers' Institute for Equality in Education. Held last June on the university campus, the Institute was designed to help Arizona teachers of grades K through 12 develop nonsexist classroom methods and materials. The many inquiries we have received from other educators and women's studies personnel throughout the country suggest that information about our program will help others design similar institutes in their own regions.

We planned our Institute for the summer, since there is little time or money for bringing women's studies information to elementary …

Debate On Graduate Women's Studies At George Washington University, Rosemary Beavers, Carol Bros, Patricia Mcdonough, Terry Savage, Lois West, Phyllis M. Palmer

Women's Studies Quarterly

The M.A. program in women's studies at George Washington University is undergoing dramatic changes in focus and structure. As students and graduates, we believe these changes raise questions about the quality of our Women's Studies Program, especially its lack of feminist focus and content.

A radical feminist believes that women are a distinct group, restricted by custom and law from complete participation in society. Moreover, feminists believe that women's lives—and the female experience—have worth and should be preserved. Therefore, feminists strive for equity, recognition of the importance of the female world, and fundamental change in the social order.

Mother And Infant At Play: Reciprocity In Gazing Behavior, Goldie Alfasi-Siffert

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Twenty mothers and their 3-month-old male infants were studied in an attempt to isolate and describe some of the motivational components that contribute to infant gaze. Infants were videotaped in two conditions: playing with mother and playing with a female stranger. The videotapes were then analyzed on a second-by-second basis with respect to infant gaze and a variety of maternal/stranger behaviors. Results show that infants spend more time gazing at the stranger than at mother and that looks at the stranger are of much longer duration. In addition, high levels of infant gaze tend to be associated with facial and …

Nwsa News And Views, Elaine Reuben, Charol Shakeshaft, Kay Towns, Ann H. Beuf, Jackie Macaulay

FROM THE NATIONAL OFFICE

Summer is traditionally known as a "slow" season in the Washington area, and an organization like NWSA, involving so many students and teachers, also seems to "take a break" between semesters. I can't speak for the Federal folk—except to note that July's march on the Capitol was followed by their extending the deadline for ratification of the ERA—but our work continued.

A Literature Of Survivors: On Teaching Canada's Women Writers, Cathy N. Davidson

Women's Studies Quarterly

"Do all feminists kill themselves or go crazy - or does that only happen in the books feminists write?"

I am reminded of this question put to meby a student in the first Women and Literature course I taught, whenever I look over a syllabus which begins with, say, The Awakening or The House of Mirth and ends with such writers as Plath or Sexton. Of course, we teach more than plot summary and biography. Set in its context, Edna Pontellier's "awakening" should be historically, sociologically, and psychologically illuminating for the contemporary student. But we must also accept the fact …

A Student's Journal: On Menstruation, Yolette Garaud

Women's Studies Quarterly

The following is an excerpt from a journal written for the Introduction to Women's Studies course taught this year by Naomi Rosenthal at the State University of New York at Old Westbury.

She is now an undergraduate at Old Westbury, where she is majoring in biochemistry. Unable to write the first journal assignment, she produced the following piece within six weeks of the beginning of the course. Interestingly, according to the instructor, it was being asked to …

Part-Time Work And Part-Time Leave, Sheila Tobias

Women's Studies Quarterly

The Modern Language Association convention in December 1977 included a panel on the subject of "Women and Part-Time Work." Joanne Spencer Kantrowitz, moderator, explained that, in forming the panel at the request of the Commission on the Status of Women, her "one objective was to create a group where men and women could discuss, together (and dispassionately, if possible), an area where women are consistently "used."

"In recent years," Kantrowitz noted, "the part-time category has become a male professional problem, too, as some institutions have seized on it as a convenient cost-cutting device which uses the surplus of …

Women's Studies At Barnard College: Alive And Well And Living In New York, Hester Eisenstein

Women's Studies Quarterly

It may seem somewhat confusing to be reading an article in 1978 on the new Women's Studies Program at Barnard College. After all, people say, haven't you had women's studies there for years? The answer is, well, yes and no. Of course there have been women's studies courses at Barnard for many years. Annette Baxter's History of American Women was one of the earliest courses in the country, first taught in the fall of 1966. Similarly, Catharine R. Stimpson introduced a course on Images of Women in Literature in the spring of 1971. The Barnard Women's Center was begun in …

FROM THE NATIONAL OFFICE

The 1978-79 academic year promises to be an important and productive time for NWSA.

I am very pleased to be able to report that the Association has received a small grant from The Ford Foundation, $25,000 for a period of fifteen months, to support and strengthen this office and its capacity to reach and serve persons and groups working in women's studies.

This grant will make it possible to prepare and distribute membership and other Association materials throughout the country, will allow the Association's Steering Committee to meet and to communicate more effectively with …
