Feminist oral history considers how women communicate and conceptualize their life stories, putting into practice a feminist commitment to recording women's life stories. This seminar operates as a workshop, investigating the theory underlying feminist oral history while putting the methodology to work through a class interviewing project. Through critical reading and practical experience, students research oral history questions and conduct interviews that are recorded using audio and video equipment. Furthermore, they develop the critical tools and analytical judgment needed to analyze the role of gender in oral history interviewing and prepare interviews to be deposited in an archive.

Students read key texts in medical sociology and gain an understanding of how the history of medicine and physiology came to be a disciplinary subspecialty in the early to mid-20th century. Students perform a research project that makes use of methods in medical history. This could include archival research, oral histories, or interview methods.

What is our relation with the earth With animals, plants, water, technology, and air With each other With the wider universe This course delves into the field of ecofeminism, a word first coined in 1974 by Francoi d'Eaubonne to signal the joining of two movements - environmentalism and feminism. Early feminists asked: Is the oppression of women linked to the oppression of earth - Mother Nature How do concepts of nature, gender and sexuality fashion our ways of living jointly, as "companion species " Beginning with signature 1960s texts such as Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, this seminar tracks the stormy debates on environmentalism and feminism, including questions of oppression, environmental degradation, weather, and technologies of war as it seeks to chart new ways out of our current environmental conundrum. The seminar thus follows the affairs and entanglements of nature, science, and feminism in theory, research, film, literature, and everyday life. (Bayer)

How lives are studied in social context is the question at the heart of social psychological research and feminist epistemology. Brought together, these approaches have reawakened concerns about the place of language, cultural discourses and relations of power in social psychological life. This course asks students to think through the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings to different research paradigms as they learn how to put different research methods into practice. Students design and conduct a research project, for which one component will be discourse analysis of women's and men's forms of language and the subtle ways in which these forms act on perceptions. This course also can count toward the major in psychology and satisfies the psychology laboratory requirement. Prerequisites: WMST 223 or WMST 247 or permission of the instructor. (Bayer)
