GAS Works: Proposing a Final Project

Below find a list of webpapers emerging from GAS Works, an interdisciplinary course about gender and sexuality offered at Bryn Mawr College in Fall 2009. As we approach the semester's end, students have been asked to propose a final project. What questions have been raised for them by this course, and how might they go about answering them? What form might be most appropriate for conducting this exploration?

Take a look around, and feel warmly welcome to respond in the comment area available at the end of each paper.

GAS Works: Describing Ourselves, Imagining Our Educations

Below find a list of webpapers emerging from GAS Works, an interdisciplinary course about gender and sexuality offered at Bryn Mawr College in Fall 2009. During the first week of classes, students read Jacques Derrida's Women in the Beehive and Peggy McIntosh's Interactive Phases of Curricular Revision. They have now been asked to to tell their generation’s/their own version of McIntosh’s story. What kind of people are they? What kind of education have they had, and do they want to have? What has been the relation between their lives, their gender, and their education? What do they want that relationship to be? What has the role of activism in (their) education been? What might/should it be?

Food for Thought Webpapers, Fall 2009

These are the webpapers that emerged from Food for Thought: The Omnivore's Dilemma, a first-semester seminar offered at Bryn Mawr College in Fall 2009. At the end of semester spent thinking together about how we--as “free thinkers” with “open-ended human appetites”--might learn to make thoughtful decisions in the world, students are posting here their work about what issues seem most critical to them...
