Durain, McCool. This course will utilize a multidisciplinary approach to address the field of women's health care. The constructs of women's health care will be examined from a clinical, as well as sociological, anthropological and political point of view.

The emphasis of the course will be to undertake a critical exploration of the diversity of women's health care needs and the past and current approaches to this care.

Schultz; Kuriloff. This course is designed to provide an overview of the major discussions and debates in the area of gender and education. While the intersections of gender, race, class, ethnicity, and sexuality are emphasized throughout this course, the focus of the research we will read is on gender and education in English-speaking countries. We will examine theoretical frameworks of gender and use these to read popular literature, examine teaching practices and teachers with respect to gender, using case studies to investigate the topics.

Staff. This course can take up any issue in modernism, but has usually focused on American modernists. One recent version of the course treated the work of William Carlos Williams; another dealt with the relations between modernism, mass culture, and such quintessentially "modern" experiences as assembly-line production and "urban shock".

Staff. This seminar, with readings and discussion in English, will bring recent American, French and Italian feminist theories to bear on the literary production of Italian women in this century. Similiarities and disjunctions between and among these feminisms will be explored, and the literary-theoretical directions taken by them will be used to analyze this century's Italian fiction and poetry primarily, although not exclusively by women. Some few male writers whose work speaks to the issue of the "voce feminile/debole" or "weakened" feminine voice will also be studied. Throughout, a balance of theory and practice will be sought, as feminist critical perspectives and literary texts alike are scrutinized.
