Fall 2012

Meeting Wednesday, December 12, 2012
3-4pm, M378

Topic: FIG Ideas and Directions

We bounced around several ideas, including creating a digital library on Blackboard to share pedagogical and scholarly materials; establishing consciousness raising/ support groups on campus for survivors of domestic violence/ intimate partner violence, organizing brown bag lunches on feminist movements, on feminist taxonomies and waves, on systems of power in the classroom, and on theories of gender and sexuality; conducting intellectual discussions on current articles in the field of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and forming working groups to promote collaborative publishing  and Women’s History Month; and starting up monthly cultural events and information sessions for students to help the Program grow at Kingsborough. We will divide up these tasks in the spring.
