Senior Seminar
WMST 405 FA

This course is a required seminar for senior Women's Studies majors. The central goal is to engage in an intensive examination of topics in the interdisciplinary field of Women's Studies. Seminar participants will determine the topics to be examined. We will begin with readings chosen by the instructor that address the relation between theory and practice in feminist scholarship. We then turn to student-generated readings and presentations relating to projects pursued by seminar participants. Each participant will make a presentation about his/her topic and lead the class discussion of readings they have assigned. Most students will focus their presentation, readings, and discussion on their senior thesis or senior essay project. Others may choose--as individuals or small groups--to develop practically-based or activist-oriented projects. In taking this option students must engage intellectual issues grounded in Women's Studies.
