Graduate Programs In Women's Studies, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

Women's Studies Programs offering graduate degrees recently responded to the following questions:

1. What is the curricular shape and major emphasis of your program? How flexible is it? How many (and which) credits and other requirements must be completed for the degree? Name your degree(s).

2. What kinds of students are you interested in? What are your official (and unofficial) requirements and expectations of students? Provide relevant information about application deadlines, interviews etc.

3. What is the cost of your program? Are forms of financial aid or teaching assistantships available? Is housing available or especially difficult or expensive to obtain? …

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 …

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 …

Women's Studies In India: A Bibliographical Note, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

In two of India's major cities, there are centers for women's studies. Thus far, they are research centers and places where growing library collections allow them to be of use to scholars and to teachers interested in changing their curriculum. Both of these centers would be grateful to U.S. scholars, women's studies centers , publishers, and libraries willing to share their resources and to send copies of books, articles, or pamphlets to India. In the annotations that follow, the address of each center precedes a brief description of its projects and list of its publications, all of which are recommended …

Closeup: Women's Studies Department At San Diego, Marilyn J. Boxer

Women's Studies Quarterly

Despite hazards both external and internal, the Women's Studies Program at San Diego State University (SDSU) has now survived eight years, has been strengthened in the process, and has moved in new directions. Designated a "program" in 1970, it is in fact a functioning "department," thanks to two successive supportive deans.

Funded initially by the SDSU Foundation in a period of militant feminism, in 1974 Women's Studies was assimilated into the administrative structure of the College of Arts and Letters. In the California State University system, funding for academic programs is determined almost exclusively by student enrollment. Departmental status for …

FROM THE NATIONAL OFFICE

The National Women's Studies Association has been "in business" at the University of Maryland for two months as I write this memo. When it appears, the semester will be almost over, the weather may be better, and I will be preparing to report on my activities as Coordinator at the Spring 1978 meeting of the NWSA Coordinating Council.

The outlines of that report are already taking shape.

Editorial, Florence Howe

Grass Roots Women's Studies: Piedmont, North Carolina, Mollie C. Davis

Women's Studies Quarterly

North Carolina is a state in nervous transition as it moves rapidly from a predominantly rural to an urban character. Its values and its peoples are in cultural conflict and perhaps have been since the end of World War II when agricultural mechanization, industrialization, improved communication, and racial integration effected substantial changes in this vastly diverse state. The old ways are certainly under attack. Stress accompanies rapid change, especially when values clash and traditional patterns of life and land use are dramatically altered.

At the May 26-29 meeting of the NWSA Coordinating Council in Milwaukee, it was decided that a Steering Committee of six members would be responsible for the day-to-day decisions/operations of the NWSA.
