University of Washington 179 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS For the past eighteen months, the Modern Language Association's Commission on the Status of Women has functioned as a clearinghouse for information on new curricular developments in feminist studies. In Decembet, 1970, the Commission published the first "Guide to Current Female Studies," a list of 110 courses, and Female Studies II, a collection of 66 syllabi and bibliographies. This volume replaces the "Guide" with a "New Guide" and includes additional curricular materials, as well as new information about Programs. Female Studies III could not have been published without the Modern Language Association's continued support of the Commission on the Status of Wbmen; nor without the cooperation of KNOW, Inc., a women's press, responsible (jointly with Sheila Tobias) for the idea of the series. We owe special thanks also to the Women's History Research Center, Inc. (2325 Oak Street, Berkeley, California 94708) for their assistance in providing us with information about women's studies especially on the west coast. The Women's History Research Center welcomes inquiries about its publications and services. The Center needs contributions (tax-deductible) so that its important work may continue. We wish to acknowledge also the assistance of research grant number RO-5085- 72-54 from the National Endowment for the Humanities: and the State University of New York/The College at Old Westbury for an office and accompanying services. Like its predecessors, Female Studies III could mt have happened without massive cooperation from more than six hundred people who have used our services as a clearinghouse on women's studies. We will continue to function as a clearing- house, at.least for the purpose of publishing additions or corrections to the New Guide (pp. 1-30). We welcome your comments and advice.We thank you for your generosity. 7 1 INTRODUCTION When Female Studies II was being put together in November, 1970, we had on hand 66 course outlines and bibliographies and several brief essays. We simply printed all the material we had, editing slightly to avoid repetition.

  • Self-Narrative, Feminist Theory and Writing Practice
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ResearchArchive at Victoria University of Wellington ON SHIFTING GROUND: Self-narrative, feminist theory and writing practice By Anne Else A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2006 To Susan Moller Okin 1946-2004 Abstract This thesis centres on a problem that stands at the heart of feminist theory: how women may come to understand themselves as speaking subjects located within historically specific, discursive social structures, to question those structures aloud, and to seek to change them. It combines self-narrative, feminist theory and writing practice to make sense of a body of published work which I produced between 1984 and 1999, with a consistent focus on some form of gendered discourse, by setting it in its personal, historical, and theoretical contexts. Although the thesis is built around published work, it is not primarily about results or outcomes, but rather about a set of active historical processes. Taking the form of a spirally structured critical autobiography spanning five and a half decades, it traces how one voice of what I have termed feminist oppositional imagining has emerged and taken its own worded shape. First, it constructs a double story of coming to writing and coming to feminism, in order to explore the formation of a writing subject and show the critical importance of the connections between subjectivity and oppositional imagining, and to highlight the need to find ways of producing knowledge which do not rely on the notion of the detached observer.

    ENCOUNTERING THE GODDESS IN INDIA Religion 220 Dr. Joel R. Smith Spring, 2012 Skidmore College An introduction to the Hindu religious culture of India through a study of major Hindu goddesses. The vision (darsan) of and devotion (bhakti) to the feminine divine image will be explored in terms of both the Goddess worshipped in her own right independently of any male god, and goddesses worshipped as the spouse or consort of a male god. An interdisciplinary approach will explore the religious meaning of the Hindu goddess in literature, painting, poetry, ritual, and sculpture. Learning Goals: (1) Learn about the meaning of the major Hindu Goddesses of India: their history, scriptures, myths, rituals, iconography, and symbolism. (2) Place the Goddesses and devotion to them in the context of other kinds of Hindu religious movements. (3) Learn about the culture of India through the study of Hindu Goddesses. (4) Develop critical concepts and methodologies for the study of religions in India and elsewhere. (5) Practice subtle reading, writing, and analytical skills, including critical evaluation, by discussing readings in class and by writing essays about them. (6) Consider feminist aspects of the Goddesses and their relevance for non-Hindu Westerners, especially women. Office Hours: I would be delighted to talk with you outside of class. Make an appointment or stop by during my office hours: Monday & Wednesday: 4:30- 5:30 p.m. Tuesday & Thursday: 5:00- 6:00 p.m. Friday: 11:00-12:00 a.m. (other times by appointment) Office: Ladd 217 Email: [email protected] Office Phone: (518) 580-5407 (Please don’t call me at home.)

  • Which Feminisms?
    New Masses, New Movements—17 susan watkins WHICH FEMINISMS? f all the opposition movements to have erupted since 2008, the rebirth of a militant feminism is perhaps the most surprising—not least because feminism as such had never gone away; women’s empowerment has long been a Omantra of the global establishment. Yet there were already signs that something new was stirring in the us and uk student protests of 2010, the 2011 Occupy encampments at Puerta del Sol and Zuccotti Park. In India, mass rallies condemned the gang rape of Jyoti Pandey in 2012 and feminist flash-mobs have disrupted the moral-policing operations of Hindutva fundamentalists. The protests against sexual assault on us campuses blazed across the New York media in 2014. In Brazil, 30,000 black women descended on the capital in 2015 to demonstrate against sexual violence and racism, calling for the ouster of the corrupt head of the National Congress, Eduardo Cunha; earlier that year, the March of Margaridas brought over 50,000 rural women to Brasília. In Argentina, feminist campaigners against domestic violence were at the forefront of protests against Macri’s shock therapy. In China, the arrest in 2015 of five young women preparing to sticker Beijing’s public transport against sexual violence—members of Young Feminist Activism, an online coa- lition that’s played cat-and-mouse with the authorities—was met with web petitions signed by over 2 million people. In January 2017, a ‘feminism of the 99 per cent’ declared itself with the million-strong march against the Trump Administration in the us.
