AN INTRODUCTION TO READING AND RESEARCHING IN WOMEN’S STUDIES 

Thursday 30 Aug – Welcome to Our Course!
HANDED OUT: Syllabus, Intellectual Friendships, How to Read (it’s not so obvious!), and Good Advice (all on website for download as well, look on right hand side for links) 
CLASS BUDDIES, CLASS WEBSITE
Zandt, Share: bring to this first class if at all possible. In fact bring all the books you have so far! 

How our portal course is intended to help you conscientiously practice feminist scholarship and its related actions. Helping each other and practicing solidarity. Reading ahead, reading to discuss, reading for research, rereading for further work and to grasp complexity, reading in libraries, on the web, with electronic devices, with other people. Our workshops and planning assignments ahead of time. Inspection exercises with Zandt.
