Critical Feminist Studies - Web Paper # 2

Critical Feminist Studies course

Welcome to Critical Feminist Studies, a course offered at Bryn Mawr College in Fall 2008. Ten weeks into the semester, students are writing about the gender-related issues that interest them most in one particular site in the world. They been asked to report on how gender is being represented @ that site, how those representations might be altered, and what interventions are needed. These are projects that look @ the "salience of social location," that ground their theorizing about how gender is operating in a specific history and culture, and that attend to the social conditions that produced those operations.

Take a look around, and feel warmly welcome to respond in the comment area available at the end of each paper. What strikes, intrigues, puzzles you...what, among your reactions, might be of interest or use to the writer, or others in the class, or others who--exploring the internet--might be in search of a thoughtful conversation about the shape and sound of feminism around the world today?

Attachment Theory

Submitted by PS2007 on Sun, 11/09/2008 - 10:19pm

Mental Health

One of the most important factors that affect child development is the relationship of the child with their primary caregiver. This common sense statement is a tenet of developmental psychology known as attachment theory. John Bowlby, the creator of this theory, wanted to examine how early childhood experiences influence personality development. Attachment theory specifically examines infant’s reactions to being separated from their primary caregiver. Bowlby hypothesized that the differences in how children react to these situations demonstrates basic behavioral differences in infancy that will have consequences for later social and emotional development.
