Jen credits her course work in Gender and Women’s Studies as the place where she became an empowered young woman and is eager to apply her skills in January when she begins her position as a public policy intern at Girls, Inc. in Washington, DC. Jen, who has spent most of her life in Mt. Airy, MD, is married, and she and her husband have a three-year old son. ]]> Jennifer M.

On Saturday, November 14th, GWST students presented a panel at the National Women's Studies Association (NWSA) annual conference in Atlanta, Georgia. GWST majors, Abigail Grainger, Eva Jannotta and Jennifer Keeter were selected to present. The panel was moderated by Autumn Reed, a graduate assistant in the program. The Global Women’s Health Action: Putting Intersectionality Into Practice This panel described a week-long campus Global Women’s Health Action, organized by a group of undergraduate gender and women’s studies students. With a grant from a national organization, these students created a campus-wide collaborative event. This session will describe the organizing process and the event itself, with particular attention paid to the feminist organizing principles used to build partnerships across campus and in the creation of an event that connected local to global, and that demonstrated the value of an intersectional approach to women’s health by addressing differentiations based on race, class, sexual orientation, physical ability, and nation. ]]> On Saturday, November 14th, GWST students presented a panel at the National Women's Studies Association (NWSA) annual conference in Atlanta, Georgia.

These designations are themselves problematic and will be discussed in greater detail. Most of the films will be narrative (as opposed to strictly experimental) and will deal with important social and theoretical issues around race, gender, and sexuality. This course is not just about watching films. It will involve discussion, reading and writing as well. We shall make extensive use of selected theoretical and critical texts borrowed from the disciplines of psychoanalysis, feminist, literary, and queer theory, as well as from film history and theory. Prior knowledge of film-making and/or film history is not required. Also listed as ART 429. ]]> GWST 490 - Issues and Themes in Black, Queer and Feminist Film In this course we will be examining prominent issues and themes in selected films (on video and DVD) that fall within the categories... http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/wmstudies/2009/05/new_crosslisting_for_fall_2009.html https://my3.my.umbc.edu/api/v0/pixel/news/16615/guest@my.umbc.edu/a11e2b5f4e0773700470126f85cf9dfa/api/pixel Department of Gender, Women's, + Sexuality Studies https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/gwst https://assets4-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/442/0951c34dc17cf35be31bb59fa96435df/xsmall.png?1551107229 https://assets2-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/442/0951c34dc17cf35be31bb59fa96435df/original.png?1551107229 https://assets1-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/442/0951c34dc17cf35be31bb59fa96435df/xxlarge.png?1551107229 https://assets3-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/442/0951c34dc17cf35be31bb59fa96435df/xlarge.png?1551107229 https://assets2-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/442/0951c34dc17cf35be31bb59fa96435df/large.png?1551107229 https://assets4-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/442/0951c34dc17cf35be31bb59fa96435df/medium.png?1551107229 https://assets2-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/442/0951c34dc17cf35be31bb59fa96435df/small.png?1551107229 https://assets4-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/442/0951c34dc17cf35be31bb59fa96435df/xsmall.png?1551107229 https://assets4-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/442/0951c34dc17cf35be31bb59fa96435df/xxsmall.png?1551107229 Gender + Women's Studies 0 0 false Wed, 27 May 2009 17:34:18 -0400
