Associate Professors: Malcolmson (English), Eames (Anthropology), Rand (Art) (on leave, 2000–2001), López (Spanish), Shulman (Mathematics), Chair (fall semester), and Hill (Political Science), Chair (winter semester); Assistant Professors: Shankar (English), Herzig (Women's Studies) (on leave, 2000–2001), Asher (Political Science), Ulysse (African American Studies), and Ellis (Women's Studies) Women's studies at Bates is an interdisciplinary program of study. In addition to courses in methodology and specialized women's studies courses in science studies, the program draws upon the expertise of a wide range of faculty members from the disciplines of anthropology, art, classics, economics, English, foreign languages, history, mathematics, political science, psychology, rhetoric, and sociology, among others. The majority of the Faculty has contributed to the program's curriculum, as have most departments and programs. The goal of the Program in Women's Studies is to enable students to recognize and use gender as an effective analytical tool. This method of analysis can help us to understand the realities and meanings of women's lives in many cultures and historical periods. Women's studies not only increases what we know about women, it enriches our understanding of men and enables us to understand gender relations — how the roles assigned to men and women structure our societies and shape our personal interactions and public policies. The courses offered provide a cross-cultural comparison and encourage students to view women's experiences from the perspectives of a variety of fields. Students may choose either to major or to pursue a secondary concentration in women's studies. Major requirements. Any student considering a major in women's studies should take Women's Studies 100 and Women's Studies 250 before the end of the sophomore year. Students must complete the following set of requirements: a total of ten courses, including Women's Studies 100, 201, 250, 400, and 458 (senior thesis). In addition, one of the ten courses must be a 300- or 400-level core course. The remainder must be chosen from the list of women's studies courses that follows. Beginning with students entering in Fall 2000, major and secondary concentration requirements can be fulfilled only through Women's Studies core courses. Students graduating between 2001 and 2003 can continue to use component courses, but they are encouraged to chose primarily core courses as well. Core courses focus directly on women, gender, and/or sexuality. Component courses include approximately one-third (or more) women's studies content. The women's studies course list represents only those courses that are currently part of the Bates curriculum. Students may use courses — including first-year seminars and topics courses — which were listed as women's studies core or component courses in a previous year, provided the catalog year is one in which the student was matriculated. No more than one Short Term unit may be counted toward the major. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the program, many courses in women's studies have prerequisites in other departments. Many majors also develop a focus in one division or group of departments, and need to supplement their women's studies courses with other courses in that area of focus. Majors should plan their schedules carefully and are urged to consult regularly with the chair to ensure that their program has both breadth and depth. Majors should consider taking Women's Studies 400 in the junior year because this course includes theoretical thinking, which can help prepare them for the senior thesis. A thesis advisor is chosen by each student, in consultation with the chair, according to the subject matter of the thesis. Planning for the senior thesis and choosing a thesis advisor begin in the junior year. Majors normally write a thesis in the second semester of the senior year and, with the assistance of their advisor, submit a thesis proposal to the Committee on Women's Studies by Thanksgiving break to enroll in 458 (or, for those beginning to write the thesis in the fall semester, by April 1), that is, during the semester before thesis writing begins. Pass/Fail Grading Option. Aside from thesis, which must be taken for a grade, there are no restrictions on the use of the pass/fail option within the major. Secondary Concentration. Students' proposed programs of study, consisting of seven courses, are normally approved by the program committee in the fall of their junior year. Normally, a secondary concentration in women's studies consists of Women's Studies 100, 201, 250, at least two 300-level women's studies courses, and two other committee-approved courses. Pass/Fail Grading Option. There are no restrictions on the use of the pass/fail option within the secondary concentration. Courses 100. Introduction to Women's Studies. An interdisciplinary study of women's experiences in cross-cultural and historical perspective. Emphasis is given to the diversity of women's lives and to the potential for solidarity among women divided by race, class, ethnicity, age, (dis)ability, sexuality, nationality, and religion. Enrollment limited to 40. J. Ellis. 121G. Asian American Women Writers. This course examines fictional, autobiographical, and critical writings by Asian American women including Sui Sin Far, Gish Jen, Maxine Hong Kingston, Trinh Minh-ha, Bharati Mukherjee, Tahira Naqvi, Cathy Song, Marianne Villanueva, and Hisaye Yamamoto from a sociohistorical perspective. Students explore their issues, especially with concerns of personal and cultural identity, as both Asian and American, as females, as minorities, as (often) postcolonial subjects. The course highlights the varied immigration and social histories of women from different Asian countries, often homogenized as "Oriental" in mainstream American cultural representations. This course is the same as English 121G. Enrollment limited to 25 per section. L. Shankar. 200. Women's Journey: Still Waters Run Deep. Women in biblical literature, post-biblical literature, and in the oral literature of the Middle East are not silent bystanders. They actively define the world around them and pursue their own relationship with the divine, their environment, and the search for perfection. This course is the same as Religion 200. Open to first-year students. M. Caspi. 201. African American Women and Feminist Thought. African American history, like white American history, omits the struggles and contributions of its women. Using historical perspectives, the individual and collective experiences of African American women are examined. Particular attention is given to developing knowledge and understanding of African American women's 1) experiences of enslavement, 2) efforts at self-definition and self-sufficiency, 3) social and political activism, and 4) forging of Afra-American/multicultural/womanist/feminist thought. Open to first-year students. G. Ulysse. 210. Technology in U. S. History. A survey of the development, distribution, and use of technology in the United States from colonial roadways to microelectronics, using primary and secondary source material. Subjects treated include the emergence of the factory system; the rise of new forms of power, transportation, and communication; sexual and racial divisions of labor; and the advent of corporate-sponsored scientific research. Enrollment limited to 40. Open to first year students (as of Fall 2001). R. Herzig. 215. United States Women's History to 1865. A survey of United States women's history from first encounters to Reconstruction.

Subjects covered include industrialization, urbanization, and immigration; reform and labor movements; commercialization and the "new woman"; the suffrage campaigns; World War II and the Cold War; feminist politics; and globalization. Emphasis is on historicizing women's experiences; exploring intersections of race, class, and ethnicity; and examining the historical development of gender roles. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 40. J. Ellis. 234. Third World Women and Gender in Economic Development. This course is designed to give students a critical introduction to the central issues within the field of women/gender in economic development in developing societies. Students approach this topic by exploring three broad themes. First, they examine the conceptual literature related to economic development and gender. Second, they explore praxis-oriented strategies to include women in economic development projects. Finally, they explore how mainstream discourses and practices of development are being critiqued and influenced by Third World feminism. Recommended background: one course each in economic development and women's studies. This course is the same as Political Science 234. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 40. K. Asher. 239. Black Women in Music. Angela Davis states, "Black people were able to create with their music an aesthetic community of resistance, which in turn encouraged and nurtured a political community of active struggle for freedom." This course examines the role of black women as critics, composers, and performers who challenge externally defined controlling images. Topics include: black women in the music industry; black women in music of the African diaspora; and black women as rappers, jazz innovators, and musicians in the classical and gospel traditions. This course is the same as African American Studies 239 and Music 239. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 30. L. Williams. 240. "Black" Women's Narratives of Slavery. This course examines the impact of socially constructed differences among women in the United States and the Caribbean. It focuses primarily on the influence of distinct patterns of labor, leisure, and movement in the making and remaking of race, color, class, and gendered identities. Using "black" women's emancipatory narratives, it analyses differences in women's daily lives to explore how these are manifestations of the cultural dynamics of power during the period of slavery. This course is the same as African American Studies 240. Open to first-year students. G. Ulysse. 250. Interdisciplinary Studies: Methods and Modes of Inquiry. Interdisciplinarity involves more than a meeting of disciplines. Practitioners stretch methodological norms and reach across disciplinary boundaries. Through examination of a single topic, this course introduces students to interdisciplinary methods of analysis. Students examine what practitioners actually do, and work to become practitioners themselves. Prerequisite(s): any two courses in women's studies, African American studies, or American cultural studies. This course is the same as African American Studies 250 and American Cultural Studies 250. E. Eames. 264. Voice and Gender. This course focuses on the gender-related differences in voice from the beginning of language acquisition through learning and development of a human voice. A variety of interdisciplinary perspectives are examined according to the different determinants of voice production — physiological, psychological, social interactional, and cultural. Students explore how race, ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, and age affect vocal expression. Students also analyze "famous" and "attractive" human voices and discuss what makes them so. Recommended background: Theater 263, and/or Women's Studies 100. This course is the same as Theater 264. Open to first-year students. K. Vecsey. 266. Gender, Race, and Science. Examines the intersections of gender and race in the norms and practices of modern science. Using methods drawn from philosophy, history, sociology, and anthropology, the course investigates: 1) participation in the sciences by white women and people of color; 2) the formation of scientific concepts of racial and sexual difference; and 3) the influence of gender and race on key scientific categories such as nature, objectivity, and experimentation. Open to first-year students. R. Herzig. 267. Blood, Genes, and American Culture. Places recent popular and scientific discussions of human heredity and genetics in social, political, and historical context. Topics include racial categories of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, eugenics, the "gay gene," cloning, reproductive rights, the patenting and commercialization of genetic material, the Bell Curve, and the Human Genome Project. Recommended background: coursework in biology. Enrollment limited to 40. R. Herzig. 275. Gender Relations in Comparative Perspective. A comparative analysis, utilizing new feminist approaches in anthropology and women's studies, of the social construction of gender in contemporary societies, with a focus on West African, East Asian, and North American notions of gender identity and gender relations. This course is the same as Anthropology 275. Open to first-year students. E. Eames. 343. Women, Culture, and Health. This course examines a variety of perspectives on women's health issues. Issues include reproductive health, body image, sexuality, substance use and abuse, mental health, cancer, AIDS, heart disease, poverty, work, violence, access to health care, and aging. Each topic is examined in sociocultural context, and the complex relationship between individual health and cultural demands or standards is explored. Prerequisite(s): Psychology 211 or 303. This course is the same as Psychology 343. Open to first-year students. K. Low. 350. Walking the Edge: About Borders. What happens to identity when we move beyond conventional definitions of space, region, territory, or nation? What happens when a hybrid or mestiza subject defies traditional categories of nationality, ethnicity, race, or gender? This advanced seminar explores the fluid, unpredictable dynamic of "borderlands," those places where identity and relationships are always in process. The course raises questions about representations and expressions of those who inhabit the borderlands — women of color, women of mixed heritage, women of multiple nationality — in order to reconceptualize notions of the self. Prerequisite(s): one women's studies or literature course. Enrollment limited to 20. C. Aburto Guzmán, M. Rice-DeFosse. 360. Independent Study. Independent study of selected topics by individual students. Registration is granted only after the student has submitted a written proposal for a research project and has secured the sponsorship of a faculty member to direct the study and evaluate the results. Students must meet periodically with faculty and complete papers or projects. Students are limited to one independent study per semester. Written permission of the instructor is required. Staff. 365. Special Topics. A course or seminar offered from time to time and reserved for a special topic selected by the Committee on Women's Studies. 365A. Science and Colonialism. From the collection of flora to the observation of astronomical phenomena, Western sciences came of age as part of the ethos of European colonialism. This reading-intensive course examines connections between scientific observation and experimentation and projects of European expansion from the seventeenth century to the present. Prerequisite(s): one course in women's studies. Enrollment limited to 20. R. Herzig. 395S. Asian American Women Writers, Filmmakers, and Critics. This seminar studies from a literary and a sociohistorical perspective the fiction, memoirs, and critical theories of Asian American women such as Meena Alexander, Rey Chow, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Ginu Kamani, Maxine Hong Kingston, Lisa Lowe, Patricia Linmark, Kim Rounyang, Cathy Song, and Hisaye Yamamoto. It explores their constructions of personal and national identity, as hybridized Asians and Americans, and as postcolonial diasporics making textual representations of real and "imaginary" homelands. Films by Trinh T. Minh-ha, Indu Krishnan, Deepa Mehta, Mira Nair, and Renee Tajima-Creef are also analyzed through critical lenses. This course is the same as English 395S. Enrollment limited to 15. Written permission of the instructor is required. L. Shankar. 400. Junior–Senior Seminar. This seminar is an advanced inquiry into feminist theories and methods. Drawing on work in several disciplinary fields, students ask how using gender as a category of analysis illuminates and/or changes the questions of other disciplines. Students also investigate the development of core theories and methods within women's studies. Required of all majors. 400A. Women's Activism, Research Methodologies, and Theory. This seminar focuses on 1) the study of feminist thought as reflected in the writings of U.S. women of color and white women; 2) learning and reflecting upon social science and humanist methodologies in women's studies research and praxis; 3) the identification and consideration of epistemological issues; and 4) feminist theory, praxis, and activism. Students are expected to visit and study service-delivery systems in such areas as women's health services, shelters for abused women and children, women's prisons, and other agencies identified by students as centers of women's activism. Prerequisite(s): five courses in women's studies. Staff. 400B. Feminist Literary Criticism. This seminar examines feminist literary theories and the implications and consequences of theoretical choices. It raises interrelated questions about forms of representation, the social construction of critical categories, cross-cultural differences among writers and readers, and the critical reception of women writers. Students explore the use of literary theory through work with diverse texts. This course is the same as English 395L. Enrollment limited to 15. Written permission of the instructor is required. L. Shankar, C. Malcolmson, C. Taylor. 400C. Understanding Disease. Some recent scholars have argued that most human diseases have specific genetic or biochemical etiologies. Others have claimed that "disease" as such does not exist outside human cultural practices and perceptions. This course considers debates about the nature, causes, and consequences of human disease, situating specific illnesses in their historical and cultural contexts. Students study the rise of third-party insurance; the birth of the germ theory and biomedical model of disease; the professionalization of medical care; practices of representation; and the role of class, gender, and race in disease research and treatment. Prerequisite(s): two courses in women's studies. Enrollment limited to 15. R. Herzig. 400D. Global Feminisms. A seminar exploring feminism in an international context and in relation to the politics of globalization.

Enrollment limited to 15. Written permission of the instructor is required. J. Ellis. 457, 458. Senior Thesis. The research and writing of an extended essay or report, or the completion of a creative project, under the supervision of a faculty member. Majors normally register for 458 in the winter semester. Majors writing an honors thesis register for both Women's Studies 457 in the fall semester and 458 in the winter semester. Staff. Short Term Units s21. Riot Girls: A History of Female Rebellion. Unruly women have shaped United States history and culture. Rebellious women have organized strikes, picketed the White House, demonstrated for civil rights, and taken to the streets in a variety of transgressive ways. This unit examines individual rebels-including Emma Goldman, Bessie Smith, bonnie Parker, and Kathy Acker-and highlights rebellious events from the Uprising of the Thirty Thousand to Beatlemania. Analysis focuses on contextualizing rebellion within historical constructions of gender, and investigating the social, political, and cultural forces that have worked to keep bad girls in line throughout the twentieth century. Open to first-year students. J. Ellis. s24. Technology in New England. A historical survey of the development and use of technologies in New England, focusing on gendered divisions of labor. Students travel to regional historic sites, factories, and corporations in order to examine the machines and processes under consideration. Topics include colonial manufactures, early textile production, extractive industries, infrastructure development, and biotechnology. Enrollment limited to 12. R. Herzig. s25. Gender and Politics. This unit explores broad issues of gender activism and political change. Using four case studies from Cuba, the United States, Sweden, and Colombia, the course examines relations between gender, class, race, ethnicity, and religion in a comparative framework. Students travel to meet with political activists working at local, state, regional, and national levels, and are expected to participate in an activity of "political change" of their own selection and design. Enrollment limited to 30. R. Herzig. s30. "Scientific Knowledge," Culture, and Political Economy in Latin America. How does "scientific knowledge" —which purports to be "free" of the social underpinnings of "race" and gender—shape much of the discourse about knowledge production in the natural and social sciences? How is "scientific knowledge" deployed within "political economies" of development in Latin America? What are the implications of these scientific, cultural, and economic modes of production considering the power inequity between "global markets" and "regional" interests? These are the questions that shape the discussions in this interdisciplinary unit. Recommended background: one 200-level course in political science and women's studies. Open to first-year students. Enrollment is limited to 20. This course is the same as Political Science s30. K. Asher. s32. Global Flows: Sex, Politics, and War. Globalization processes underlie profound changes in politics from the state to "private" lives. This unit focuses on sex—as an aspect of international trade, war, and politics—to uncover how power is structured, used, and challenged in the global age. Sex trafficking, militarized prostitution, birth control, and human rights campaigns are some of the topics through which students examine flows of people, ideas, capital, and political strategies. In doing so, students ask: How do gender relations and gender ideology affect global restructuring? How does globalization shape notions of manhood, womanhood, and the ways people live out those ideas in sex lives, politics, and war? Recommended background: any of the following, Political Science 168, 171, 222, 232, 234, 235, 243, 245, 289, 329, 345, 346, 347, 352, 383, Women's Studies 234, or s25. Enrollment is limited to 20. This course is the same as Political Science s32. L. Hill. s50. Individual Research. Registration in this unit is granted only after the student has submitted a written proposal for a full-time research project to be completed during the Short Term and has secured the sponsorship of a faculty member to direct the study and evaluate the results. Students are limited to one individual research unit. Written permission of the instructor is required. Staff. The following courses meet the 2000–2001 requirements for the women's studies major.
