This course is an exploration of how women work in the sciences, how they are perceived by the sciences, and how they are changing the sciences. Because this is an exploration of a very dynamic and politically charged field, there will be considerable opportunity for students to discuss issues, respond to readings, and introduce their own ideas for readings and explorations. A discussion of the history and practice of science can include social sciences, natural sciences, physical sciences, engineering, etc. We will also invite scientists from around the University to participate in our discussions, bringing their own experiences and perceptions of women in science to the table.

This transformational course will explore the interaction of gender, leadership, and the global marketplace through independent research, formal classroom instruction, and service learning on a fair market coffee farm in Guatemala. The course begins with an overview of research on gender and leadership, the coffee industry and women's participation in the 2nd largest global market, and the importance and impact of education to women. This academic introduction is followed by a week long service learning and cultural immersion assignment in Guatemala where students will work side-by-side with coffee workers on special projects that are designed to support the goals of the families living on this fair trade coffee farm. The service learning experience will be followed by a reflection and synthesis of the experience with the conventional research based information that is introduced at the beginning of the course.

When it comes to social, political and cultural theory, feminism is based on multiplicity. There is no way to force the many positions that constitute feminism into a unified field, and in many cases we must admit irreconcilable conceptual conflicts. This course introduces many feminisms--liberal, socialist and Marxist, radical lesbian, and ethnic and racial (notably, black feminism). All of these positions reflect a commitment to some political definition, but feminisms also take methodological inspiration from postmodern theory-from postructuralism and deconstruction, from postcolonialism, and from queer theory. We study significant movements of activism and also significant critical debates within the heterogeneous field of feminisms.
