My Inspiration for this Project--Why I'm Interested in Women's Studies


I have been trying to find a method to make my course WMST 227 Women In Society a good combination of Women’s Studies and Sociology. I hold a joint position in both these departments and so I draw students who are interested in one. the other and sometimes both. Since it is a lower division course, I also have students in a variety of other departments hoping to gain interdisciplinary knowledge of women’s issues. Although I address these concerns in a variety of ways, I thought a project that would get my students to make a direct connection with the work and life of a living sociologist might be a step toward meeting some of my goals.
