Teaching Research Methods in Women\u27s Studies

Research Methods in Women\u27s Studies is a two-credit-hour, 300-level course taught in the School of Library and Informational Science at the University of Missouri-Columbia. One objective of this course is to ensure that students become regular, successful users of a library. The other is to introduce them to the wide variety of women\u27s studies resources which are available at UMC and to make them aware of resources in other research collections, some of which may be available through interlibrary loan

Women\u27s Studies Programs and Centers for Research on Women: 1981

For the first time, we are making available in a single format, and for future distribution, the WOMEN\u27S STUDIES PROGRAM list and the annotated list of CENTERS FOR RESEARCH ON WOMEN. All correspondence about the listing of Centers for Research on Women (corrections, additions, etc.) should be addressed to Florence Howe, Editor, Women\u27s Studies Quarterly; all correspondence about the listing of Women\u27s Studies Programs (corrections, additions, etc.) should be addressed to Elaine Reuben, National Coordinator, NWSA. Most of the Women\u27s Studies Programs listed below are interdisciplinary; i.e., they combine courses in literature, language, or culture with work in sociology, anthropology, economics, political science, history, philosophy, psychology, biology and related fields. Many offer interdisciplinary courses as well as internships. Some programs offer minors (denoted by Min) or graduate minors (denoted by Grad Min), or certificate (denoted by Cer); others offer major concentrations in women\u27s studies or award A.A., B.A., M.A., or Ph. D. degrees. Programs listed without a specific label offer or coordinate elective courses. Where no coordinator, director, or chairperson is listed, the program may be in the process of organization, or it may have chosen to function through a committee, or to rotate the administrative function. This list is maintained and published as an educational service of the National Women\u27s Studies Association (NWSA, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742) and of the Women\u27s Studies Quarterly (The Feminist Press, Box 334, Old Westbury, NY 11568). Compilers for 1981 were Elaine Reuben for NWSA and Florence Howe for the Women Studies Quarterly. For additional copies of this list, send $1.50 in check or money order to NWSA or the Women Studies Quarterly

Editorial

BEGINNING AGAIN We open the new year with a new look and a new name. We open also with a sense of expansion, not only in the staff and in the number of pages we now print, but in the knowledge that we could fill twice this number with features and reports from the field—for the field itself has expanded. Slightly more than a decade after its beginnings, women\u27s studies has begun to focus on its second and ultimate strategy. The movement, that is to say, has increasingly developed a dual focus: first, to continue the expansion of a body of knowledge about women, and of the curricular development it serves; second, to use the knowledge and the development of new courses to change the education of all. As Carolyn Lougee\u27s essay suggests, women\u27s studies scholars are currently engaged in complex planning aimed at integrating women into the mainstream curriculum. Whatever language one uses today, whether one claims to be adding to, integrating, or transforming the curriculum, all such reformation owes its existence to the scholarship in and teaching of women\u27s studies through the past decade

Guest Editorial

Just a year ago the Women\u27s Studies Newsletter announced the founding of the National Women\u27s Studies Association. The network of a women\u27s studies movement, often visible to its diverse participants only in the forum provided by this journal, had established an organization to support and promote feminist education and all feminists involved in that effort, at every educational level and in every educational setting. In this issue, NWSA announces the opening of its national office at the University of Maryland/College Park and my appointment as Coordinator. Like those whose task it has been to coordinate women\u27s studies programs or projects in their early stages, I am exhilarated and overwhelmed by the prospect of giving form to the ambitious, necessary purpose of the Association. Women\u27s studies has always been ahead of itself. Our accomplishments—and our expectations—have been incredibly greater than our resources. That creative paradox, along with the real and difficult tensions engendered by it, is part of the NWSA inheritance

Graduate Programs in Women\u27s Studies

Women\u27s 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? 4. Can you estimate the number of graduates of your program, as of Summer 1978, and can you describe what they have gone on to do? Brief descriptions of other graduate programs will appear inf orthcoming issues, as a service to prospective students and their advisors
