Nwsa As Metaphor For The United States, Dearbhal Nicharthaigh Oct 1981

Nwsa As Metaphor For The United States, Dearbhal Nicharthaigh

Women's Studies Quarterly

The Convention at Storrs was not only my first experience of the NWSA in action but also my first experience of the United States. Having followed Storrs with trips to women's studies centers in New York, Washington, and Boston, I found two facts emerging:

1. There are three estates of persons in the United States: taxi drivers, hotel workers, and feminists. This last is by far the largest of the three.

2. There are very few men in America.

So much for cross-cultural perspectives!

In Irish society there is little racial diversity, though much latent racism. "Otherness" is defined more …

Reflections On The Birth And Coming Of Age Of Nwsa, Virginia Cyrus Oct 1981

Reflections On The Birth And Coming Of Age Of Nwsa, Virginia Cyrus

Women's Studies Quarterly

Having survived my fourth NWSA Delegate Assembly, as I drove home from Storrs, I felt a real sense of personal accomplishment. At the same time I wondered why, since I am not usually masochistic, I had endured those meetings. Suddenly I realized that my participation produced the same gratifications and frustrations that one gets from mothering a gifted, but somewhat unruly, child. This insight led in turn to my seeing in those four Delegate Assemblies developmental stages not unlike those that are needed to produce a valuable, mature individual....

Although the organization was dreamed of and desired before the 1977 …


Remarks On Two Literary Sessions At The Nwsa Convention, Jo Gillikin Oct 1981

Remarks On Two Literary Sessions At The Nwsa Convention, Jo Gillikin

Women's Studies Quarterly

...On Tuesday afternoon I attended a session entitled "The Fragmented Ethnic Woman Writer," which included an expert analysis of the search for identity in Crossings, a little-known, though clearly worthy-of-being-fully-known, novel by Chuang Hua (a pseudonym). The main character struggles between two countries—China and America—seeking her identity. As the middle child of seven children, she also struggles for personhood, a true sense of self. In The Narrows, by Ann Petry, Abbie Crunch, a seventy-year-old Black woman, transcends the moral bankruptcy of her time and place through charity. The last presentation of the session, "From Fragmentation to Fulfillment," described …

Berkeley "Freshwomen" Look At Women's Studies, Renate Duelli-Klein Jul 1981

Berkeley "Freshwomen" Look At Women's Studies, Renate Duelli-Klein

Women's Studies Quarterly

"It changed my life!" students in women's studies courses often say. Indeed, some surveys suggest that the feminist consciousness developed in such courses is not reversible, that it leads students to a new perception of their lives. But what are the attitudes of students who have not yet been exposed to women's studies (WS) courses? Do they know what WS is about? Do they think that knowledge of the past and present lives of women in the United States and other cultures will be pertinent to their personal and professional plans? Or do they reject WS as an inappropriate field …

Humboldt State University: 1982 Convention Site/June 16-20, 1982, Suzanne Larson, Barbara Parker, Florence House

Women's Studies Quarterly

Humboldt State University shares the delight of its Women's Studies Program that the National Women's Studies Association is bringing its 1982 Convention to our campus. University staff and faculty are working together on arrangements that will encourage women's studies practitioners from all over the country to come to Humboldt.

HSU's excellent interdisciplinary Women's Studies Program, founded in 1970, is sponsored by several departments, including English, Economics, Ethnic Studies, History, Physical Education, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Speech Communication, and Art. Approximately 20 faculty members offer some 30 courses. The Program contributes to General Education at Humboldt through courses in Women and …


Disabled Women: Sexism Without The Pedestal, Michelle Fine, Adrienne Asch Jul 1981

Disabled Women: Sexism Without The Pedestal, Michelle Fine, Adrienne Asch

Publications and Research

The position of the disabled woman in current U.S. society deserves political, theoretical and empirical attention. In this paper we have delineated the economic, social and psychological constraints which place her at a distinct disadvantage, relative to disabled men and nondisabled women. We evaluate the ways in which having a disability is viewed as an impediment to traditional or nontraditional sex role development. The construct rolelessness is introduced, defined and examined. We conclude with reconmiendations for needed research and policy.

BEGINNING AGAIN

We open the new year with a new look and a new name. We open also with a sense of expansion, not only in the staff and in the number of pages we now print, but in the knowledge that we could fill twice this number with features and reports from the field—for the field itself has expanded.

Slightly more than a decade after its beginnings, women's studies has begun to focus on its second and ultimate strategy. The movement, that is to say, has increasingly developed a dual focus: first, to continue the expansion of a body …


The Simmons College Summer Institute On Women In Organizations, Barbara Perry Apr 1981

The Simmons College Summer Institute On Women In Organizations, Barbara Perry

Women's Studies Quarterly

Twenty college professors from the United States and England came to Boston for three weeks in July to participate in the second annual Summer Institute on Women in Organizations. Sponsored by the Institute for Case Development and Research, a department within the Simmons College Graduate Programs in Management, the Summer Institute was developed with a grant from The Ford Foundation. It provided an introduction to the case method as a pedagogical tool that develops analytical and problem-solving skills; training in the use of Simmons's cases on women managers; and practice teaching experience with follow-up critique by peers and Institute faculty. …


A Feminist Approach To Sex Education In The High School, Peggy Brick Apr 1981

A Feminist Approach To Sex Education In The High School, Peggy Brick

Women's Studies Quarterly

The following article originally appeared, under the title "Sex Education Belongs in School," in Educational Leadership 38 (February 1981): 390-94. It is reprinted here with the permission of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development and Peggy Brick.

At Dwight Morrow High School, sex education is an eight-week unit of a course called Introduction to Behavioral Science. Over the year, students cover such topics as human relations; the life cycle; learning; sleep, dreams, and the unconscious; mental health and mental illness—all of which contribute experiences and insights that enable students to understand dimensions of human sexuality.

You are cordially invited to participate in the Third Annual NWSA Convention—"Women Respond to Racism"—to be held May 31-June 4, 1981, at the University of Connecticut at Storrs.

At this Convention we will examine the conjunction of racism and sexism from an interdisciplinary, multicultural perspective as well as in the context of, for example, community organtzmg, curriculum development, the media, and public policy. The Convention schedule includes a broad selection of workshops and panel discussions on subjects as diverse as nonracist and nonsexist curricular materials, race and sex desegregation, nineteenth-century Black women activists, organizing against sterilization abuse nationally and internationally, …


Women's Studies International At Copenhagen: From Idea To Network, Florence Howe Apr 1981

Women's Studies International At Copenhagen: From Idea To Network, Florence Howe

Women's Studies Quarterly

Almost a year before the United Nations' Mid-Decade Conference on Women was held in Copenhagen during the summer of 1980, Mariam Chamberlain of The Ford Foundation, Amy Swerdlow, Myra Dinnerstein, and I began informal discussions about holding meetings of women's studies practitioners there . When we learned that an NGO (NonGovernmental Organizations) Forum would be organized, I wrote to sixty women's studies practitioners outside the United States, informing them of the badly-publicized NGO Forum itself, and inviting them to contribute to the planning of women's studies seminars. Eventually, The Feminist Press, the U.S. National Women's Studies Association, the Simone de …

A Small Survey Of Introductory Courses In American Literature, Paul Lauter Jan 1981

A Small Survey Of Introductory Courses In American Literature, Paul Lauter

Women's Studies Quarterly

In order to get some sense of the extent to which changes in introductory American literature courses had begun to take place, I conducted a small survey. I collected syllabi from fifty courses in twenty-five representative colleges and universities across the country. These included one- and two-term survey courses, as well as somewhat more specialized introductory courses. Some of the courses used anthologies; others, individual paperbacks. The institutions included major private universities and colleges, like Brown, Williams, the University of Southern California, and Duke; state universities, like Rutgers and New Mexico; and women's colleges, I ike Barnard and Mount Holyoke. …


Teaching The Feminist Minority, Barbara Hillyer Davis Jan 1981

Teaching The Feminist Minority, Barbara Hillyer Davis

Women's Studies Quarterly

In women's studies conferences during the past few years, I have heard many descriptions of pedagogical approaches to specific student groups—working women, displaced homemakers, business majors, and so on. I admire and learn from these presentations and at the same time I am uneasy. For some reason my classes are never like those described. The longer I teach them, the less homogeneous they seem. I am working out my role as a women's studies teacher in a university in which—as in most others, I suspect—no class consists of just working-class women, just reentry women, just Native American women. It is …


"Once More Into The Breach" Of Western Literature Courses, Carolyn Ruth Swift Jan 1981

"Once More Into The Breach" Of Western Literature Courses, Carolyn Ruth Swift

Women's Studies Quarterly

At Rhode Island College, we have been engaged in a debate over the inclusion of literature by white women and people of color in a required two-semester Western Literature course based on the two-volume Norton Anthology of World Literature. Feminists have been supported by the dean and the president, who threatened to veto the course altogether if it did not include some literature by women in its core of required readings. Under protest, the English department voted to add Emily Dickinson to its list. The Norton Anthology includes only one Black writer, Richard Wright, and before the end of …


A Path Model For Black And White Educational Achievement, David George Null Jan 1981

A Path Model For Black And White Educational Achievement, David George Null

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This research is an attempt to further develop intergenerational research in educational achievement by refining the "Wisconsin Model of Socioeconomic Achievement." The data source was the 1972 wave of the "Panel Study of Income Dynamics" (popularly known as the "5,000 Families") collected by the Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan. This data, which contained families originally sampled and "spin-off" families that were created by the establishment of a new family by a member of a sample family, was reprogrammed so that the parental characteristics were linked with those of their offspring. The subsample was of all spin-off male …

Your Audience May Be Greater Than You Think, Mary Ann Millsap

Women's Studies Quarterly

To the Women's Studies Newsletter:

The National Institute of Education, which commissioned a series of eight monographs on women's studies as well as the Women's Studies Evaluation Handbook, has, since March 1980, been in the publishing and distribution business, mailing the 2,500 copies of the monograph series and handbook both to preset mailing lists (e.g., all women's studies programs, centers for research on women, libraries subscribing to this Newsletter, women's caucuses and commissions on the status of women in the professions, and higher education associations) and to those who have responded to various solicited and unsolicited notices in …


The Academic Job Crisis: Some Possible Responses, Emily Abel Oct 1980

The Academic Job Crisis: Some Possible Responses, Emily Abel

Women's Studies Quarterly

The following article is a revised version of a paper originally presented at the Second National Women's Studies Association Convention in Bloomington, Indiana, and at a meeting of the Pacific Southwest Women's Studies Association. The Pacific Southwest region introduced a resolution at the 1980 Delegate Assembly calling for NWSA endorsement of policies beneficial to part-time faculty (see Women's Studies Newsletter VIII:3 [Summer 1980], p. 23); the resolution was passed.

I wish to suggest a perspective from which the National Women's Studies Association can discuss the current retrenchment in higher education and the job crisis in particular. Above all, it is …


Legal News: Suny/Stony Brook, Judy Wishnia Oct 1980

Legal News: Suny/Stony Brook, Judy Wishnia

Women's Studies Quarterly

To the Editor:

After nearly five years of litigation, the class action suit charging the State University of New York at Stony Brook with sex discrimination (Coser vs. Moore) is about to go to trial. The suit, scheduled for the Winter 1980 calendar of the First Eastern District Federal Court, includes twenty-eight academic and professional women who are name plaintiffs, among them several members of the nursing faculty at the Health Science Center. The University is charged with discrimination against women in hiring, promotion, tenure award, and salaries. In addition, the suit includes cases of women professionals who were given …
