Notes On The Student Caucus At Kansas, Susannah Bright

Women's Studies Quarterly

Approximately 50 students from around the country attended the recent NWSA Convention in Kansas. The majority met one another for the first time at meetings of the Student Caucus there. Several major issues were identified in the course of our caucus discussions:...

Reflections On The Convention, Christine Grella

Women's Studies Quarterly

Looking back at the Convention, I find myself exhilarated—but also confronted with the issues and questions that were raised. Would our differences divide us irreparably, or would they be our source of strength? Could we attain our stated purpose of encompassing the needs of diverse groups: community educators, elementary and secondary school teachers, staff, students, community and four-year college instructors—each with different experiences of women's studies?

Notes On The Lesbian Caucus At Kansas, Nan Cinnater

Women's Studies Quarterly

Members of the Lesbian Caucus spent hundreds of hours at Lawrence working to ensure that the caucus can become a viable, active network for lesbians in women's studies all over the country. Accomplishments included the formation of a fourteen-member steering committee, a fundraising committee, and a taskforce to compile and distribute to NWSA members educational materials on lesbianism. Plans include a newsletter, national networking through liaisons with the NWSA regions, and international networking and support through international periodicals and organizations. (We thought we ought to start with relatively modest goals.)

Notes On The Staff Caucus At Kansas, Barbara Parker

Women's Studies Quarterly

Have you ever overheard someone refer to an office worker as "my" secretary or "my" work-study student? When the possessive pronoun is used in a feminist workplace, what does it imply about relationships? Are links between feminist practice and principle being affirmed or denied? The question of hierarchical language was one of many practical and pedagogical issues shared by staff, faculty, students, and others during the NWSA Convention.

Feminist Periodicals, Barbara Parker

Women's Studies Quarterly

As Kate Stimpson, of Signs, pointed out at a session on feminist periodicals that took place in Kansas, few, if any, of the current feminist periodicals can survive if people replace this year's subscription to a feminist art journal with next year's subscription to a feminist literary magazine.

Those who attended the Convention could not leave unaware of financial worries that burden every type of women's studies project. A collective groan, for example, greeted the woman who reported that her Women's Studies Program receives a budget of $9,000. While she considered that a paltry figure, most of those who …

COOPERATION AND COMMUNICATION

Those of us who work in feminist programs and woman-centered institutions in many different educational settings recognize the increasing need for cooperation and communication. Thanks to Barnard College (and the support of the Rockefeller Foundation), an exceptionally diverse group of women in higher education in the Northeast recently had an opportunity to share information and discuss strategies for the coming decades. The Barnard Conference confirmed, not only informally but in the Conference Resolutions we have printed below, the need for and the commitment to collaborative strategies for the future.

Introduction, Leonore Hoffman

Women's Studies Quarterly

The project "Teaching Women's Literature from a Regional Perspective" was developed in 1976 by the Modern Language Association Commission on the Status of Women in the Profession and has been supported by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education. The major goal of the project is to improve the teaching of literature through involving students directly in conducting research on the letters, diaries, journals, oral testimonies, and "lost" published literature of the women of their region. Courses have been developed in a number of colleges and universities throughout the country in which students have explored local archives in public …

From The National Office, Elaine Reuben

Women's Studies Quarterly

In lieu of my usual quarterly report on the work of the National Office—some of which is reflected in the news of this issue—it seemed appropriate in this pre-Convention column to share the substance of one activity. The following statement made on behalf of NWSA was my response to a request from Senator Harrison A. Williams, Jr., for testimony before the Senate Committee on Human Resources. This sort of public presence is one aspect of NWSA's function as a national voice for feminist education. Our purpose as an organization is not only to share experiences and information among ourselves but …

Women In High School U.S. History Texts: Where Are The Changes?, Sandy Weinbaum

Women's Studies Quarterly

In 1974, The Feminist Press conducted a survey of U.S. high school history texts to find out how women were portrayed. The authors' findings corroborated those of similar studies of high school and college texts: history was the history of men-primarily white and middle class-as reported and interpreted by men; women were invisible, or, if visible, were the objects of stereotyping or the occasion for comic relief.

In 1978 ten members of the Feminist Press staff formed a research group to update that study. We wanted to know if publishers had been affected by the women's movement and, in particular, …

Finding New Forms: Student Autonomy In A Patriarchal University, Barbara Hillyer Davis

Women's Studies Quarterly

"Oklahoma Women" was a year-long experimental seminar at the University of Oklahoma designed to teach research skills and to discover what a few women could learn in a short time about the literature and history of the women of our region. In the first semester, we did research on Oklahoma women, and in the second, public programming based on that research Students learned directly how to do research in the humani ties and did individual work on research projects and group work on the public programs. A photographic exhibit for a local conference on women's work, a community-wide series of …

Readers' Speakout, Bella Zweig

Dear Women's Studies Newsletter:

In her article in the Fall 1978 issue of the Newsletter on the history of the Berkshire Conference, Alison Bernstein mentioned that the Coordinating Council of Women in the Historical Profession (CCWHP) would present a resolution to the Council of the American Historical Association (AHA) that unless the Council agreed to boycott states that have not ratified the ERA, the membership of the AHA would withhold their dues in protest.

Applying Feminist Approaches To Learning And Research: A Practical Curriculum Model, Ann C. Carver

Women's Studies Quarterly

By "Feminist Approaches to Learning" I mean a process of "breaking the accustomed mold" of established learning (to use Florence Howe's language). I mean learning to take the risk of questioning knowledge itself, using the creative expressions of women's cultures for the subject of study, and drawing upon the positive "ways of doing" in women's cultures for classroom and research methods.

The three operating principles for my course in "Teaching Women's Literature from a Regional Perspective" grow out of this approach. Those principles are: (1) intense, nonfragmented involvement of the whole person in the creative act of study; (2) sharing, …
