Curtis I remember sitting with a mentor discussing my concerns about the discussion sections I would be leading as a graduate teaching assistant in the upcoming semester. I was especially worried the lack of creativity in the syllabus I had crafted. After listening carefully, my mentor shared something with me that an advisor had told her during her graduate career: Research should be original; teaching should be derivative. Although there was nothing that was so groundbreaking about this don’t-reinvent-the-wheel or if-it’s-not-broke sensibility, I had not thought about my academic experience in that way before. While the continuation of scholarly dialogues and the creation of new intellectual conversations depend on a constant evolution of ideas, maintaining rigorous standards for students depends on educators’ ability to replicate teaching techniques that prove to be successful and useful. And, as my conversation with my mentor proved, learning what strategies often prove successful does not have to be something that one discovers on one’s own. It is in this spirit of creating a supportive community of praxis for women’s and gender studies practitioners that the National Women’s Studies Association offers this teaching resources collection of introductory-level materials. Introducing Women’s and Gender Studies: A Teaching Resources Collection contains 29 syllabi, lesson plans, and other instructional materials that educators are currently using to introduce students to theoretical and practical foundations of women’s and gender studies. These materials come from a diverse group of educators who are teaching women’s and gender studies in a variety of settings. Some of the practitioners who contributed their teaching resources are working in university women’s and gender studies programs while others are offering their classes through other college departments or non- academic institutions. Covering a range of dates from 2001 to 2006, this collection provides a sampling of what is going on – instructionally – in the field today. In compiling this collection as an editor, I attempted to be as inclusive as possible when determining which submissions would be incorporated here. For the most part, contributions were included when they focused on the wider overview provided in most introductory courses. As you can see from the “Introductory Courses on Special Topics,” however, some courses constructed around specific themes were included to show how courses that are structured in this way provide an alternative method to traditional survey method for introducing students to the discipline. The range of student populations that these teaching materials have been crafted for range from middle school to the graduate level. To help locate the reader who is navigating this wide range of resources, demographic information about courses and their instructor preface each item. Although attempts were made to recruit resources from K – 12 practitioners, only one submission in this area was received. While educators working with these groups may be disappointed, I am hopeful that a future collection focusing on K – 12 could be developed. Introducing Women’s and Gender Studies: A Teaching Resources Collection 8 Although this collection represents only a small sample of the important work that women’s and gender studies practitioners are doing at present in their respective institutions, these resources do reveal trends in the teaching methods utilized in the field. Even though there is a great diversity of pedagogical approaches, there are common syllabus elements and coursework that are evident here. To allow practitioners to see the many formatting possibilities for syllabi, I maintained contributors’ original formatting to the greatest extent possible. While the fonts and alignment deployed in syllabi vary widely, most syllabi included: a summary of the course and its goals or objectives, classroom expectations or guidelines; contact information for the instructors and instructions on finding course materials; required texts and reading schedules; assignments and grading standards; information about ability accommodations, writing support, and other on- campus resources; lists of the requirements fulfilled by the course and information about major or minor declaration; and a statement of an institution’s honor code or a professor’s policy on plagiarism; important dates, such as the add/drop or midterm period, that students should be aware of. Even though there is no one template for a women’s and gender studies syllabus, these inclusion of these common elements provide a good place to start in the construction of new syllabi. In terms of the type of coursework that professors assign in introductory courses, diversity flourishes again. In general, however, introductory women’s and gender studies courses require a high-level of student engagement through assignments that hold students accountable for both their reading, such as quizzes or reading reflection papers, and their participation both in and outside of class. In addition to asking students to contribute to class discussions, many professors utilized online discussion boards and made the attendance of events outside of class meeting time a requirement. Further, many assignments focused on putting theory into practice through civic engagement or activism projects. By far, however, the most popular assignment in introductory-level women’s and gender studies are short papers which range from informal journals to formal briefs that ask students to think critically about key concepts and to apply feminist theory to their own experiences. In addition, many of these assignments focus on popular culture analysis and media literacy. There is less standardization, however, of assigned texts in introductory women’s and gender studies courses. Instead of relying on canonized anthologies, practitioners more

  • More Than a Municipal Campaign: Speech in Haverhill, Massachusetts (November 27, 1899)
    More Than a Municipal Campaign: Speech in Haverhill, Massachusetts (November 27, 1899) Ladies and Gentlemen, Citizens of Haverhill:— A year ago the name of Haverhill was flashed around the world. On Wednesday next [Dec. 6, 1899] the magnificent victory achieved then will have ben ratified by an increased majority. This is something more than a municipal campaign. There are issues involved that are of vital and commanding interest to every man, woman, and child in Haverhill, in Massachusetts, throughout the length and breadth of the land. The competitive system, with its extreme wealth upon the one hand, its abject and widespread poverty upon the other, its political corruption, its economic servitude, its social demoralization is on trial. What pen or tongue, from primeval man to the dullest intellect, can describe the effect of this struggle upon the great mass of the working people? Multiplied millions of them answer to the description of the embruted peasant in the poem of Edwin Markham, a poem fraught with such significance that it blazed the immortality of the author on wings of lightning around the world: Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground, The emptiness of ages in his face, And on his back the burden of the world. Who made him dead to rapture and despair, A thing that grieves not and that never hopes. Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox? Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw? Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow? Whose breath blew out the light within this brain? 1 The capitalist system must answer for this appalling indictment at the bar of humanity.

  • Stalking Laws and Implementation Practices: a National Review 0 124
    to such cases. Victims need to be made aware of the stalking laws, and it is the responsibility of the justice agencies to take on the task of community education about stalking. One special area 0 of concern here is stalking among underserved populations. As the experience of the Dover Police Department shows, size of jurisdiction is irrelevant; stalking occurs in small towns as well as big cities and their suburbs. Substantial evidence from a variety of sources indicates that black women victims of domestic violence are often stalked, although less is known about other types of stalking against blacks. Anecdotal evidence also shows that stalking occurs among immigrant populations and in rural areas. However, special efforts will need to be made to reach those i populations. Special efforts also need to 'be directed at educating employers about stalking. A number of states, such as California, have recently enacted legislation that permits employers to file on behalf of their employees for court orders of protection against stalking at the workplace. These laws show a growing recognition of how stalking in the workplace is a significant policy problem. Although a detailed discussion of this topic is beyond the scope of this report, Hoffman and Baron have summarized the kinds of actions employers might take to mitigate worrplace 0 stalking.262 Justice system responses to stalking were nonexistent a decade ago. Today, there are a few jurisdictions that might be cited as having exemplary responses; in others, significant efforts are underway to improve their response to stalking. Even in the "best" jurisdictions, many gaps remain, especially in providing counseling and services to stalking victims.

How is it different from recent "attempts" at feminist juris- prudence,' if at all? How is it different from jurisprudential at- tempts to ground homosexuality, 2 if at all? And if lesbian jurisprudence exists, what are its characteristics, its concerns, its methodologies? And if lesbian jurisprudence is being created, what should be its characteristics, its concerns, its methodologies? This article poses the question of lesbian jurisprudence. In order to understand the complexity of the question, this article first offers some preliminary definitions for lesbianism as well as a brief explication of jurisprudence. Combining lesbian and juris- prudence into a question, this article limits the question by re- jecting two possible answers: that lesbian jurisprudence is feminist jurisprudence and that lesbian jurisprudence is a paradigm capable of universal application. The article then seeks to give present im- aginative content to the question by drawing upon mythical meta- phors from our collective past and by surveying science fiction conceptions of the future. The mythical metaphors serve a pur- pose similar to that served by the common embodiment of justice as a woman blindfolded and holding a scale.

Myths and Misconceptions About Domestic Violence Karla M. Digirolamo* It has been said that the measure of a culture is how it treats women. If this is true, then, as the women portrayed in the Academy Award winning documentary "Defending Our Lives"' make clear, we have much reason for concern. The bat- tered women who told us their stories in this documentary suf- fered brutal abuse at the hands of their partners, were offered no effective help or protection from anyone and were forced to defend their lives and then sent to jail for doing so. Each year in this country, about 700 women kill abusive partners; 2 almost all have come to believe that no one can or will protect them. They are correct. The formal assistance and protective systems, like the informal community support sys- tems, seem hopelessly broken, unable to offer any effective help or even any hope, until in one of the many ironies these women encounter, the system suddenly begins to work, grinding for- ward to prosecute them for the crime of staying alive.
