Surviving as Women Artists: Two Art History Sessions
A month before Kansas, a long-time women\u27s studies teacher asked me why the Convention was being held. Momentarily taken aback, I realized the answers weren\u27t obvious—not even to me.
Organizationally, surprises can be disastrous. As an approach to the total program of the NWSA\u27s First Annual Convention , openness to surprise served me well. Beyond my obligation to the one panel that brought me, I was free to explore the sunflower array of sessions that I came to understand revolved around a pedagogical center. In our very different styles, we came to teach, to learn, and to interact with one another and with our subject matter - feminism
The Schapiro Retrospective
In its early manifestations, women\u27s studies celebrated the artistic achievements of women. In the past ten years, the labor of scholars has resurrected numbers of individual artists, expanded our acceptance and understanding of the diverse forms women\u27s creative expression has taken—diary, quilt, and song as well as novel, painting, and sonata—and provided the theory and practice of studying the individual\u27s achievement in relation to her cohorts, past and present. The decade has also brought the fruit of contemporary artists who have incorporated feminist perspectives into statements innovative in form and content

Elaborate thinking from reading in the primary grades
Thesis (Ed.M.)--Boston UniversityElaborative thinking is an aspect of thought, a significant
area in which creative minds are most active. Primary grade children
often have vivid imaginations and elaborate on certain ideas. This
ability sometimes may be lost as children grow and are taught adult
methods of thought processes.
It is the authors' hope to cultivate this ability of children
to think imaginatively and creatively. Exercises in elaborative
thinking have been constructed and successfully tried on intermediate
grade children. No such exercises have been available to children in
primary grades. The purpose of this study is to construct exercises
in elaborative thinking for children in the primary grades, and to
conduct an informal evaluation of them
Evaluation: Reflections of a Program Consultant
When Florence Howe was in Portland last winter on her Advisory Council project to review women\u27s studies programs, she made the distinction between a review and an evaluation: a review seeks information that can be quantified, an evaluation presupposes a standard against which a program may be judged.
Had I been more than just casually aware of the distinction last spring when, with another woman, I set out under the auspices of the Northwest Women Studies Association (NWWSA) to review a local community college\u27s women\u27s studies offerings, I might have done differently. I am not sure, however, which is one reason for sharing with other women\u27s studies people an account of my first experience as a program consultant (as you will note, terminology and practice both become confused) and some reflections on what it was like to be a consultant whose work was in turn reviewed. As women\u27s studies goes about developing and implementing models for program assessment, for internal (self-study) and external (review or evaluation) purposes, some aspects of my experience may serve as an alert to problems in the process that I do not believe are only semantic. The following, it should be understood, presents background material considered useful. Observations and interpretations are my own and may not represent the views of anyone else involved, including my coconsultant. The report itself is the property of the reviewed institution
