WS 490 - Womens Studies Seminar

Institution:

Bryant University

Subject:

Description:

Women's Studies minors, under the direction of the women's studies advisory board, develop a directed studies course that serves as both a synthesis of the narrow study of a women's issue of the student's choice. After taking a variety of courses that will stretch across several disciplines, students apply the research, disciplinary techniques, and ways of thinking that were learned in these courses to the seminar. It serves as an excellent opportunity to investigate an area of women's studies that is of particular interest and concern for the student. Examples of focused subjects of study that synthesize the multi-disciplinary approach might include "African-American Women and Feminism", "Third World Feminism", "Women and the Vietnam War", Women and Health Care". In each case, the readings would draw on literary texts and essays; historical monographs; political, psychological, and sociological studies; and natural science research. The student will also periodically meet in a seminar format with other students, who are completing the minor. 3.000 Credit Hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Directed Study College of Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Division Cross Departmental Department Course Attributes: Liberal Arts Elective, Women's Studies Minor
