This interdisciplinary course provides a brief introduction to the field of women and gender studies, addressing the topic "Engendering America: Past and Present." By surveying the history and evolution of the role of women in society, masculinity, homosexuality, diversity, class, ethnicity, age, ability, and transgender issues in the United States, students will constantly rethink and reevaluate definitions. Course readings, audiovisual materials, and class discussions will allow students to encounter varying women and gender perspectives. What students theorize in this class will be linked to real-world practice. Several assignments in the course will take students out into the community to observe, talk, listen, and consider ways to take a small step toward improving the world.

50652	ELC 688D-01	3	Passionate Pedagogies	MTWR	4:00-7:00	Curry 312	Silvia C. Bettez	WGS
In this course, we will study how passion, on the part of both teachers and learners, can become a motivating force for deeper understandings of ourselves and critical social issues in society. We will explore pedagogical theories and strategies used to promote critical thinking. This course incorporates dialogical, feminist, and critical pedagogies. We will examine teaching as an embodied practice that is experienced by learners in embodied ways related to social positionalities including race, class, gender, sexuality, and language. Students will examine the role of passion in the classroom and critically reflect on their roles as teachers and learners. Although this is a summer course, the reading requirements will still be those of a 3-credit course. You may want to plan ahead in your reading for this course. I expect to have the syllabus posted on blackboard by May 9, 2008.
